The building and the room is old and the in-room bathroom is a standard size unit-bath. The communal bath is spacious and relaxing. The breakfast is nice and tasty. For the price I paid, this is a good hotel stay.

Old but inexpensive. Nice breakfast

The first time I stayed here was on a business trip a couple of years ago. The room was very old, dirty and smelly as it used to be a smoking room. I vowed never to stay there again. Fast forward to this week. Another business trip stay and I reluctantly agreed to stay there as everywhere else was fully booked. I was assured I had a Non-Smoking room. It was not. It was a disgustingly yellow, musty and grimy ****hole of a room!
Just stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted with an absolutely disgusting stench from the hallway carpet that has gone from a light blue to a dark murky looking grey, I assume from never being cleaned/shampooed. 
The room upon entering was no better and I almost threw up, no kidding!
The toilet/bathroom has a strip of paper with the word 'Sanitised' on it, on the toilet seat lid. The toilet itself had dark grey stripes inside the bowl. The shower curtain was speckled with mold and the light fixture had dust and lord knows what hanging off it!

In the bedroom, the air vent was full of years worth of dust, and it showed on the ceiling with the stripes of grime blasted on the paper. 
The bedroom carpet was marginally better than the hallway one, but smelled almost as bad.
Walls were covered in dirt and dust, with some areas showing peeling paper. 
The bed covers had HOLES in them!! I dared not sleep inside the bed itself and used the bath towel to lay down on. 
Upon returning late at night to my home the next day, my wife commented how she could still smell the place on my suit, which I have opted to trash rather than clean, and other clothing items are now soaking overnight to kill off any potential bugs. 

This hotel used to be a lovely place many many years ago, but it seems neither management nor owners, give a crap about the upkeep of the place. Old fixtures, dirty everything and a stench so bad you wouldn't want your worst enemy to stay there!

The one saving grace is the breakfast menu was fresh and plentiful. 

If I could rate this place any lower, I would. I do NOT RECOMMEND staying here - EVER!

Advice to management/owners: CLEAN YOUR HOTEL, UPGRADE EVERYTHING, Trash or BURN every single piece of bed linen, curtains, shower curtains and mattresses as well as that DISGUSTING EXCUSE OF A CARPET! 
Spend some MONEY ON YOUR BUSINESS! 
If it was up to me, you'd be SHUT DOWN as a HEALTH HAZARD! My wife and I (Japanese) will be finding out what we can do to report your overpriced ****HOLE and have you do something about it!

The pictures I have provided do not show half the story - I have video too and will be happy to share!
