My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The location was convenient, but the room was extremely small and in dire need of refurbishment. While the breakfast was simple and decent, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired, especially with the worn-out bed and unpleasant smells. Free Wi-Fi was available, but that was one of the few positives I found during my week-long stay.

My stay was quite disappointing due to several factors. The rooms were tiny and uncomfortable, with an old bed that impacted my sleep. The hotel itself felt run-down, and the smells from outside were off-putting.

I really struggled during my stay at this hotel. The mattress was way too worn out and short, making it hard to get a decent night's sleep. On the other hand, the breakfast was simple but passable. The location was decent since it was near other buildings, but the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired. It's not worth the money I paid.
