Nasty, dirty hotel. I reserve for 3 nights and left after the first night. No updates whats so ever. Mattress looked like it was 20 yrs old. I slept on the sofa cuz im sure they have bedbugs. Bathroom full of mold with insects. Elevator under construction so expect to do lots of stairs. Also walking through the stairs felt like dloor was going to fall apart. Towels are like 10-15 years old. Just a bad experience. Also in the reception area they have a sign that said,if u stain sheets or towels u will need to pay 27dlls. Before i left tries to call reception but no phone line. I dont even know how expedia could use them. Horrible

I had a great stay here.The room took me to a different time with how old (but unkept) some of the things are the bed was comfy smart tv. I tipped the person cleaning daily a small amount but a nice gesture to how clean everything was kept the whole time left money on my stand and wasn’t worried about it not being there when I got back.

Really old room. It was marked as premium bit it was not at all. No screen for mosquitoes in one window, they put a piece of cardboard on it. It rained one night and the ceiling leaked through several parts of the ceiling and they were paddles all over the floor. Not a good experience overall.
