The hotel was adorable and affordable! It was very clean and the staff was very friendly! The only negative is that they don’t have AC so the room got uncomfortable at night . They do provide extra fans though.

Good staff, below average place to stay

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The building is quite old and the facilities reflect that. There was no air conditioning, which was not clearly mentioned at the time of booking. Fans were provided, but there were not enough proper outlets to plug them in. The parking was very limited and congested, making it inconvenient. The worst part was the flies and insects coming out of the sink and into the room, which made the stay very uncomfortable. On a positive note, the staff was nice and helpful, but overall this was a bad experience and not what I expected. I left feeling very disappointed.
