Reviews and Ratings
I stayed overnight in August, and while I got my money's worth at $35, it wasn’t without its challenges. The room was clean and the air conditioning worked well, but the broken elevator and lack of food options were major downsides. I had to venture out late at night for a meal, and the TV didn’t work, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a memorable experience for the wrong reasons.
This hotel offers a mixed bag of experiences. It's affordable, with rooms available for as low as $35, but the overall comfort and facilities might not meet everyone's expectations. While the Wi-Fi was reliable, the absence of an elevator and a functioning air conditioning unit left much to be desired. Additionally, there were mentions of cleanliness concerns, particularly regarding bedbugs, which can be a deal-breaker for many travelers.
