Despite what others say about this property we did not have a negative experience. The staff were kind, they allowed us to check in early. Our room was tidy, the shower was nice. Only issue we faced was no windows. The beds were presented nicely and comfortable. The sink was clean. All around a nice cheap hotel.

If you enjoy staying in a place where every piece of furniture in the room is broken, wondering what those splatters up the wall are and if they're related to the huge stain on the middle of the bed cover, spending the night with bed bugs, and the smell of sewage, this is the hotel for you. Any money saved on your accommodation budget will be spent on bed bug treatment and bite remedies - BE WARNED!!
