The woman at the front desk was amazing and understanding. A fantastic historic hotel. Was not disappointed. The dark tile in the bathroom was a bit depressing though.

It was fine for the low cost. I was disappointed that the internet didn't work, I was on the second floor and couldn't connect to any of the networks.

It’s an okay economy hotel. My first night was weird since I kept bumping into rotten fruits in the hotel corridors and lobby. The escalator had bad odors and the AC was very noisy, however necessary since it was 30ºC outside.

Reception was poor with staff who were unwelcoming. We had to ask for WiFi code and it was a very weak signal. No coffee in room, shower curtain and blinds were broken. No hand soap just a little soap for shower. Very disappointed and won’t use again.

Terrible experience. Water didn't work upon check in for over 24 hours, when approaching the lady at the front desk during the day she laughed at me, said 'im just a happy person'. How are you laughing while guests are miserable without water? Stay away.
