Fine for one night kinda
The hotel is very basic which I expected. However, two lights in the room were broken, an outlet did not work. The bathroom didn't have all basic amenities such as toilet seat covers. For the price, I expect (at minimum) for everything to at least be working. Staff was very nice.
