For the economical price, I am satisfied. The man staffing the front desk was very nice and helpful. The place was clean. I wish there were hooks on the bathroom door to hang towels. But otherwise fine for the reasonable price with good moderately priced restos nearby offering Thai and Tibetan cuisine.

Sheets and towels very old, broken plaster walls, etc. This is more likely a second rate motel than a proper hotel. And the price was way too high.
