The shower was disgusting and completely corroded. There were hairs on the towels and various places on the floor. Stains on the floors as well. There was a piece of curtain covering the window missing so there was window exposed the whole time. You could hear everything through the walls.

The room had a traditional style, but it was very clean and well maintained. The bed, pillows, and blanket were comfortable. The air conditioning was quiet, and the hot water worked well. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was there. The amenities were a great plus. Shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion were available and installed on the wall, which made our stay easier. This was very helpful because the nearby pharmacy had a long line, and these dispensers saved us. Overall, it was an excellent stay. I would return and highly recommend this hotel. I am very detail-oriented (OCD), and I truly believe the value for money is excellent, especially considering the cleanliness and condition of the rooms.

Was given a room on the first floor and when I opened the door there was a couple in bed having sex, when they saw me the guy quickly got up and covered himself I apologize and left but it was very awkward and I could tell the couple were embarrassed and angry. Went back to the lobby and told them what had happened. The guy at the front desk took my key and gave me another room in a different floor but no apology or anything for the inconvenience. If I would’ve been a little kid I would’ve been scarred for life.
