Short Stay.

Hi. Stayed here for two nights. Great location by lots of shops and places to eat and less thsn 10 mins walk to Ado bus station. Friendly professional staff. Nice clean room, smart tv, nice bathroom with quick hot water. For the price you cant go wrong.

Needs a lot of work

Hotel is in the main market part of town. Hotel listing states a hair dryer is in the room, but one was not even available to borrow and they wouldn’t provide one. Shower pressure is lower, the first room we were in it dribbled down the back wall only. The shower curtain isn’t long enough so bathroom floor gets wet (no floor towel provided). Bathroom door only opens halfway. Mold on walls. Lumpy mattress/pillows. Blanket was available when requested. Room was mostly quiet.

Good first- clean, safe. Could be better- parking is very limited- your vehicle is blocked in by others or you are blocking in others. They will not take the keys or move cars, so you need to get up early and move yours or you need to wait for others to move theirs. Not a good system. Also, the showers are terrible. Last, the rooms have a window into the hallway, which is always brightly lit. No blackout curtains, so the room is very bright all through the night.

El personal de recepción (tarde del día 31 de Agosto 2025) no me pudo dar referencias de la dirección del hotel por que la aplicación me dio mal la orientación) por lo que me extravié y la chicane recepción vía telefónica NO pudo decirme la ubicación ni referencias locales para que me pudieran orientar en lácale algunas personas al as quesolicité ayuda. hubo mal internet en ee momento. Ademas al llegar después de extraviarme al hotel y subir a mi habitación vino detrás de mi corriendo y gritándome org oiga no ha pagado su habitación... cuando yo el llegar a mediodía de ese mismo dia a su compañera del turno matutino le pagué el alquiler de la habitación ya reservada previamente... jamas jamas regresare a ese "hotel"
