It was Ok, just Ok. There was no heat in the room. The place is old and run down. It was one of the cheaper hotels, but even that is too much for what they offer. Tumbs down.

Room was small but fine. Bed wasn't super comfortable and noises from the neighbouring rooms kept waking me up, but I managed. Would’ve been nice to have been advised of the 200$ security deposit before I got there.
