Buen Hotel pero le falta mantenimiento
El Hotel esta bien ubicado, tiene todo lo necesario, la gente muy amable, pero pienso que lo han descuidado de mantenimiento y necesitan mejorar el tema de la limpieza.

Not friendly staff
We checked out and my friend asked if she could use the bathroom and they said since you checked out you cannot. Using bathroom was right after checkout was over.

14 October 2022
-Nothing was good about it.
- The staff were rude.. except one
- no cleaning services
- Bed was very dirty and make noise all the time.. we asked for Solving the problem but they didn't do anything.
- The area is very noisy until 4 o'clock in the mornings.. the windows of course are not soundproof
- The area is very crowded and the driving option is unlikely
- the staff are limited and most of the hospitality services are not provided
- It is not preferable place for families
- I don't recommend this place at all for anyone
- مكان سيء للغايه ولا يعكس التعليقات التي قرئتها عنه سابقا
- لا يوجد اي معايير للناظفه ابدا
- طاقم غير متعاون ولا يقدم خدمات
الاساسيه للعملاء
- الاسره قذره والملايات ممزقه وعلاوه على ذلك السرير قديم ويصدر اصوات وعند طلب حل المشكله لا يقوم القائمون على الفندق بأي مبادره
- المكان مزعج ويوجد مراقص قربه والازعاج وصوت الاغاني الى الفجر مع العلم لا يوجد نوافذ عازله للصوت
في المجمل المنطقه مكتضه وخيار قياده السياره صعب جدا
- لا يصلح ابدا للعوائل ولا انصح به لاي احد اذا اراد الراحه
- خدمه الواي فاي سيئه للغايه ولا تغطي جميع الغرف

Hotel staff are nice and welcoming, clean room (except the wooden shower floor), comfortable bed. BUT the only unforgivable sin for a hotel is thay you can’t get a good night’s sleep. There is a loud bar that plays live music about 7 meters from the hotel until around 4am. Only stay here if sleep is optional.
