Staying at this hotel was quite disappointing. The condition of the rooms and the safety of the area left much to be desired. While it was close to some amenities, I didn't feel comfortable at all. The management could definitely improve their customer service as well, which added to the poor experience overall.

My stay at this hotel left much to be desired. The location felt unsafe, and the infrastructure was poorly maintained. Although the room was somewhat clean, it was plagued by a foul smell. The staff could use a serious upgrade in hospitality training, as my requests were not met. The breakfast was minimal and not worth getting up early for. Overall, this place is not the best choice for travelers seeking comfort and safety.

My experience at this hotel was quite unfortunate. The room was not only uninviting with a strong cigarette smell but also had some cleanliness issues, including litter on the floor. The area felt unsafe, which was a major downside. On a positive note, I appreciated the prompt response from the manager when I requested a refund, which was a small relief amidst the issues I encountered.
