This room has bed bugs!!!! I booked 3 nights with kitchen room. The room was spacious and had two bedrooms. I was sitting on the bed after I arrived and saw tiny tiny bug on the bed. And I felt little itchy after while. I wasn’t comfortable sleeping there so I slept other bed. At 2 in the morning, I woke up with itchiness and I was bitten 20 times all over arms and neck. I had to leave in the middle of night. This place needs serious pest control right away.
