The hotel was ok. The water in the bathroom barely runs hot. The shower head was in bad condition and the water was splashing everywhere.
The toilet was so loud when flushed. It was actually hard to sleep. You can hear any time someone in the next room flushes a toilet.
For the amount of money per night, It’s not worth it.
