Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is convenient, walkable shops and restaurants, bus routes nearby. It's affordable if you just need a place to stay for the basics, don't expect luxury at all or a perfect room. A lot of the lamps didn't have bulbs, but they gave me a few. Staff are pretty decent. Rooms could be cleaner. They seem to have some random woman they came across rushing to clean the rooms, but she's nice. The hot tub was what I needed, so it was kind of expensive for the type of hotel it is for that specific room, but the other rooms are more affordable. A certain caliber of people seem to stay there because it's affordable.

Old, dirty and unsafe. The only good thing about this place is the location (close to downtown-5min) and the staff, they were nice and polite but never again here. I was a solo traveler and I just spent a night in here, it was enough. Overpriced for the room (80 bucks ) and the pool was dirty, I couldn’t get in it
