Excellent staff who answered all questions, made recommendations, a d showed us the bus system. Rooms could have more ammenities like a microwave or minifridge. Bathrooms in rooms were awesome. The bar/restraunt attatched to the hotel is a great way to meet locals and get more information about the area. Very budget friendly and overall an amazing experience.

The hotel has taken in a stray/dumped cat and her son. They are allowed to wander the lobby and are well cared for. I would book again knowing I'd get to see the cats.

Bathroom covered in black mold. Toilet doesnt flush. You can tell they don't update or maintain this hotel. Everything is out of date. The bathroom seems like an after thought. Getting in and out of the shower is super unsafe. Not worth the price at all.
