Okay but Dirty
The hotel was alright. Good price and everything seems nice. Room service was nice too.
Our refrigerator wasn’t working though and had some old liquid (probably oil) in it. Bathroom also was a bit dirty with unexplainable stains 9n the curtain and a bit on the wall.
Blankets are thin but not an issue as long as you use the heater for cold nights.
Overall a "you get what you paid for" thing, but could use a bit of a paint job.
Everybody makes too too much noise, guests yelling each other building to building, not a designated parking spot for your room, hotel personnel do not keep the outside areas quiet and peaceful, the building looks very old and, the bed makes a lot of noise as well.
First and last time coming to this place
Even though there was a language barrier everyone was Hospitable. The grounds need to be maintained better because there was loud cracks in the concrete and that could be a health hazard as far as falling.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. However some of the customers were very rude, selfish and played music very loud and we had to request for management to request to lower the volume. The bedding was not very comfortable either.
