My stay

The place itself is conveniently located with amenities near by. Please note the AC is very loud and keeps you awake. Towels are old, Toilet was unable to flush, they offered to move me as the plumbers was unavailable for sometime. The chair in the room looked dirty, I did not sit on it. The microwave was smelly as it looks like the last guest warmed or cooked had curry or something like that in it, and it was not clean.

It was cheap and conveniently located. It was clean enough not to be a big deal. Traffic noise was pretty loud but doesn’t bother me. Overall it had what I needed in terms of price and location so I can’t complain!
