Short stay on budge

Hotel itself was decent for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. In a good location with a McDonald's across the street and a park about a 3 minute walk away.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No face towels, no soap. Doors were missing door handles. Some of the beds in our group had “stains” on the bed sheets. Had to sleep with clothes on - on top of the bed. Complimentary breakfast was toast with an egg…..Lots of homeless people hanging around the hotel area. Would not recommend this hotel.

This is my first time at this hotel. I was surprised at how friendly they are and that, though it's an inexpensive hotel, they provide breakfast (scrambled eggs and toast or rice cakes) included with the room. Unlike others in this price range, they also provide daily housekeeping.

They couldn't find my reservation but I had kept the record. It is close to a metro station, a McDonald, and a government building, so l wouldn't say it's unsafe. But streets are littered with garbage. The free breakfast was provided with scrambled egg (small portion) , coffee, fruit drink and toast, which is nice. The facilities are dilapidated.

Havia no quarto apenas um ar condicionado muito velho barulhento. Não tinha frigobar, para colocar uma água gelada. Mas, como era apenas para passar uma noite. Mesmo sem os ingredientes normais que contém um quarto de hotel, atendeu a necessidade.
