Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers much better rooms, albeit at a higher price and necessitating early booking. Although there were some issues with the smell resembling a bordello, dirty bathrooms, and broken lampshades giving a construction site vibe, the room overall was clean and comfortable, providing a basic 3-star experience that could benefit from a makeover.
