Honestly, this place is a no bells and whistles, good stay. Room was small but not too small, with a TV, fridge, and AC. The bed was a little firm but not uncomfortable, and the people at the front desk were extremely helpful and nice. It’s in a really great area as well. Very solid stay.

Horrible. Wires sticking out of the walls. Fire alarms covered with masking tape. Room light hanging by a wire up against the wall. Floors in the bathroom were dirty. And non-stop banging from construction. It was so bad that I did not feel safe staying there and opted to get a different hotel for the night.

Filthy and loud
Filthy, horrible “hotel.” It was so dirty and loud all night. Looks absolutely nothing like the pictures on this website. There is no way they’re from the same building. We complained to this site and they refused to help us with a refund despite the photos being fraudulent. Do not stay here. You would be better off at a hostel. We would’ve left immediately, but we didn’t have anywhere else to stay. We did cancel our second two nights.
