2/10 Poor

DO NOT BOOK HERE
This hotel is flat out disgusting. The Hotels.com reviews were pretty positive for a cheap hotel but in reality this is a horrible place to stay. The AC didnt work, there was no Wi-Fi, we couldnt even shower because water would come flooding out of the drain in the middle of the bathroom. The linens were soiled, the mattresses were stained and the walls were filthy. The worst of it all were the DIRTY FOOTPRINTS all inside the closet...It looked as though someone had been living in there in secret. Worst hotel i have ever been in. It's not at all worth the money that you save. Do yourself a favour and book anywhere else.

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel I ever stayed at. The staff is very rude. There is no functioning WiFi or air conditioning. In 30 degree heat, they provided one table fan for three persons. The breakfast was of appalling quality. There is no room service and the bedsheets or towels were not changed during our 3 day stay. The hotel also charged us for fees (local taxes) which were already on the Expedia payment receipt. When we asked for the money returned to us after our stay, they verbally abused us with racist slurs.

Staff is nice, just the room was not what i expected. Old school tv with one channel(doesn't matter much) I got the standard room(cheapest) by price. First of all the beds were not durable at all, very soft and the plak popped out from one of them. (Had 2 twin beds) there was no AC(they gave me the fan), had one power outlet, the shower i used twice in a day and had to use cold water because there wasn't any warm water(i had warm water the next day) by that time i have already booked another hotel.
