Yes, it's that bad. If you want a room with broken glass, plenty of mold, and a ceiling leaking from 5 different places, look no further! Based on the other reviews, I have to assume that some of their rooms are actually decent (or they used to be). When I stayed here, less than a quarter of the other rooms were occupied, so I'd expect to have gotten at least an average room. Yet the windows were cracked, the air conditioner barely took the edge off the heat and was loud enough to rattle the door, the ceiling was dripping from several places (even after the rain dried up, suggesting bad plumbing), the bathroom and carpets were excessively moldy (causing the room to stink), the tap water stank, the towels were more filth than fabric, 1 of the 3 locks on the door was broken, 1 of the wall-sconce lamps was broken and held on only by the wires, water was dripping from the ceiling onto a lampshade, etc. Even before I saw the room, I thought the health certificate posted in the office looked like it'd been doctored; now I'm sure it was. There were a couple positives: I didn't see any bugs, and the water pressure was great (unfortunately, the shower head was damaged, and I couldn't find the shower curtain under all the mold). The wifi was pretty good... in the lobby. No wifi in most of the rooms. I was passing through and only stayed one night, and the few positive reviews seem to have come from locals. I suspect they might reserve their worst rooms for gullible northern city-folk (even though most of their rooms were empty). If you meet that description, stay away. If you have to stay here, the first-floor rooms looked a bit less horrible than the second-floor, so consider claiming you have difficulty getting up stairs and need a room on the ground floor. The non-smoking rooms seem to be kept in marginally better condition than the smoking rooms. And if you loose your room key, just through a rock through the window and tape it up afterword, as many seem to have done before. I've attached pictures of the leaking ceiling, as I wasn't going to spend long enough in that room to fully document all the issues. It fully earned a 1-star review, but there's already enough of those here for people gloss over. When you read the other reviews, notice how the most positive reviews were written on the same week in July 2014 that the hotel management was active on this website, by reviewers who haven't reviewed any other hotels. Caveat emptor.
