2 star hotel

This def is a 2 stars hotel. My reservation was non-smoking 1-bed room, when arrived the room smelled horrible to cigarettes'. The host even offered me to cancel the reservation but then offered another room that was in a side they were already renovating which was better. Bed was good, the AC did not cool that much, room was clean at least. My stay was only 1 night so it was ok. I would not stay for longer tho.

Deplorably inconvenienced

It was pretty bad. They had initially booked me for a decent room it was sizeable and clean but the door wouldn't unlock with the card. Now mind you, the whole building had rooms open and available. I ended up being stuck in this utterly filthy room that must have been for people that they don't like because it was utterly deplorable as well as the fact that it was so small it was not pleasant at all but the main issue was none of that. Except for some of the cleanliness part. It had been the issue of the air not working for 2 days on and off and it was so hot it was sweltering and they refuse to move me to another room they had maintenance come three times and then switch out the air unit and it still didn't work. It was horrible. It was me talking about a refund that made them on the third day that I got moved and then that air unit started to mess up so it was an inconvenience all around.

Gavd us ehat we needed, a bed to slerp in.

Cheap room with adequate sleep conditions. It is not a high end or fancy place, but for those looking for a place to lay your head, it suffices. I am guessing some rooms are better than others, I booked with Hotels dot com and it looked like the room I booked.
