The room was pretty clean, minus all the dead bugs around the window and floor. But my bathroom was nothing like what was advertised. The shower was a literal hole in the wall with a lowered floor to prevent water 'leakage'. Online pictures showed full tub bath. But the bed was comfortable and the staff was super friendly. The electric outlets were all very loose and my cords kept falling out.

The hotel was clean and surprisingly quiet. I was a little unnerved as a single woman as it was not what I expected. Turned out to be quiet, safe, and clean. Very very basic.
