When I arrived at the hotel, the front desk said that my room type was not available. After communicating with Ctrip, I changed to another hotel, but the new hotel was in an alley. I was a little scared to go back to the hotel at night, and there were cockroaches in the room.

This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. The room was like a cell, moldy and had poor ventilation, so I couldn't stop coughing. The biggest problem was the bugs. The bathroom and toilet were full of bugs and their corpses, so they were impossible to use. If you have the money, I recommend staying at another decent hotel.

很便宜，設備有點舊舊的，下次來還會考慮住這裡，老闆和小幫手平常不在，要找到人比較難一點一點，如果想要省錢可以考慮

But thank you.
