Alia Motel

Điểm trừ: Staff must always smile, coz they didnt smiling

Điểm trừ: The room smelled like cigarettes. This may not bother some people, but I have a rather sensitive nose when it comes to smoke. This could just have been my room, so other people may have different experiences in other rooms.

Điểm trừ: The breakfast is a carton of tea and some kind of roll, delivered to the garage early in the morning. I never touched it. There is no closet or wardrobe to hang coat and shirts (a rack with 3 hangers in the garage is not convenient). The only place to store stuff is an one compartment chest (serves as a TV stand). All the drawers fronts are false. There is no microwave. No clock in the room. Though the room is relatively clean. there are a lot of dust at the corner and edges of the wall. The furniture are old (so is the building of the motel) and there are signs of disrepair. Wall paper peeling at places. Holes left in the wall where fixtures were removed, etc. The etched smoky glass partitions for the bathroom with seminude females are off putting. I was greatly surprised that the room door can not be locked!! The knob of the dead bolt on the door can not be turned. The card given to the guests is only for turning the electricity on for the room. The only means by which the room is secured is to close the garage door. Though the staff at the cashier/gate house can lift the garage door (hence breakfast delivered while I sleep upstairs with an unlocked door). The gate house is staffed by one person, even at night! Not adequate security by a long shot- Taiwan and Sanxia's good social peace record not withstanding.
