RedDoorz Plus @ Boulevard Panakkukang

The only real bright spot was the receptionist who greeted us early in the morning. He was friendly and cheerful, and deserves five stars on his own. Everything else made this the worst budget hotel we’ve stayed at during two months of traveling around Sulawesi. My partner and I found the room unbearably hot because the air conditioning didn’t work at all. In the bathroom, used toilet paper was stuck to the filthy floor, hair clogged the sink, and a sewage smell came up through a hole in the floor. The leaking bidet kept the floor wet, and the broken door wouldn’t shut properly. Rain also came through gaps in the badly fitted windows during an evening storm. The bathroom seemed untouched by cleaning staff, and with the leaking windows, broken door, and dead AC, the hotel failed on every level. Don’t stay here.
