“In my opinion, the budget-conscious traveler might find the price appealing, but be prepared for basic accommodations. Based on my findings, some rooms present cleanliness issues, and amenities may be limited, with reports of malfunctioning TVs and air conditioning. Ultimately, the friendly staff seems to be the most consistent positive aspect mentioned.”
