Let me take you through my first impression of this hotel - as I was driving into this property, I took a turn that seemed like the hotel's parking lot - however, it was a turn just 20 meters prior to the main entrance of the hotel, and was going towards some empty lot. As soon as I entered that lot, at least 4 people surrounded my car, 3 of them exchanging substances that shouldn't be talked about, while one guy on the bike asked if I needed a certain something. From the surroundings, I should have known the kind of characters I'd be among at the hotel.
This property could easily feature in a Hollywood movie directed by the likes of Scorcese or Tarantino - the ones where you want to show the underbelly of the crime world. I have rarely seen such an eclectic mix of characters staying on the property, together. As they were standing outside their rooms enjoying their smoke in what's deemed as a non-smoking hotel, I was dreading to even pass them by to make my way to the room. No, I don't judge smokers but these ones clearly looked like people you don't want to mess with or even look eye to eye. Also, I was amazed to see the percentage of population that was smoking outside their rooms.
It's been 12 hours since my stay, and as I remove my night clothes from the suitcase to wash them, they have become a poster boy for a cigarette ad, since they're so infested with smoke.
I think I've said enough.
