It was Ok, just Ok. There was no heat in the room. The place is old and run down. It was one of the cheaper hotels, but even that is too much for what they offer. Tumbs down.

Room was small but fine. Bed wasn't super comfortable and noises from the neighbouring rooms kept waking me up, but I managed. Would’ve been nice to have been advised of the 200$ security deposit before I got there.

Great staff... had second thoughts due to external appearance, like Motel style; however, rooms were all updated and quite comfortable. Friendly staff. Best Shwarma in town across the street: the Shwarma Palace.

The property was a little old. The surroundings are very loud. You cant get a decent sleep since you can hear a loud noise from the neighboring houses until morning
