Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Walking out of the elevator straight into the room was immediately unsettling. The condition of the room felt unsafe and poorly maintained. The bedroom window could not lock, and the bathroom had no window at all, which was uncomfortable and concerning. There appeared to be mold on several areas of the walls that looked like they had simply been painted over. The ceiling was visibly cracking, and the TV was extremely small (around 20 inches), adding to the overall feeling that the room had not been properly updated or cared for. The bathroom setup was also inadequate. There were only two drying towels provided and no floor towel, despite having a standing shower, which made the space impractical and slippery. Overall, this was honestly the worst and most unsafe place I’ve ever walked into. I would not recommend staying here.

We had a lot of issues from no soap dispensers filled to the AC not working enough to cool the room. We canceled our reservation with the front desk, and they confirmed I could get a refund through Expedia and now they won’t answer their phone from Expedia to actually refund us. 100% don’t recommend after having to jump through hoops to still get the shaft from Faranda.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The front desk staff (all of them) were very friendly, helpful and responsive to our needs. Although there was a huge line-up to get checked in, we were able to leave our luggage (through a ticketing system) and return to check-in later. This was super helpful because we had nowhere to store them until the rooms were ready. We had a problem with the pipes in the bathroom and they got it fixed. The rooms are a little dated and the wifi didn't work in my room (but did just outside the room) but overall, the hotel was a good clean and safe. One thing to note is that the hotel is advertised as having airport transfer. This is not true. The hotel does not have any transfer to or from the airport. This was disappointing because it was one of the main reasons we booked here. This needs to be removed from the amenities. They serve a hearty complimentary breakfast (eggs-boiled and fried, sausage, pancakes, juice, fruit, cereal, rice) which is good when you are on a budget. Overall, our short stay here as a group of 5 was a good experience (apart from the airport transfer).
