Not quite as advertised
"Rooms and hotel in general is in need of maintenance. TV reception is poor, meaning the picture is crap. Housekeeping isn't done regularly as per advertisement. When housekeeping is done, they often forget to leave new towels, toilet paper etc."

房間可以 主人懶散
"裝修很符合Hello Kitty 的氛圍,女兒進去就發出一聲驚呼,但廚房水龍頭搖晃,睡覺翻身床板便嘎吱作響。共三房雙衛,還有一個停車位。訂房時附帶早餐,這是最大的騙局,只有幾包咖啡粉,其他什麼都沒有。入住交接鑰匙後,便人影全無,如果這種態度經營民宿的話,還是免了吧!"
