It was very clean. The rooms were small but perfect for a couple nights for a single person. The only downside was that the road is very busy so you can hear a lot of traffic.

Everything was perfect and I was able to check in late which was a relief. My only problem was the air conditioner was turning on and off and i couldn’t figure out how to make it go normal and I couldn’t sleep as well because of that but overall great experience! I totally recommend this place anyways. They have a big room, super convenient and comfortable, the fridge was big, great stay!
