It is a nice hotel for transit only. The staff were very helpful. ##### Luis ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Dec 5, 2019 Disliked: Amenities There is nothing special that I remember about this hotel but what made me so much disappointed with the stay that there was problem with shower . No Hot water, also no hot water coming in the shank. There was drainage problem in my wash room. I paid for 3 nights in advance but every next day my room key stop working for which I need to request them to send someone to my room for which I had to wait a long many times just kept staying outside my room. Horrible stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 5, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Low class hotel, pretty low class. Pretty low class hotel. Even for my "non high maintenance" standards. Sheets and towels were dingy, stuff on wall was broken. Access was difficult --location because of traffic was nightmare. Really need to think twice before heading here to see if you can afford something a little bit more expensive. The good news is/was the staff is very responsive and eager to please. My second reservation did not come through from Hotels.com so that could have happened smoother. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Sep 19, 2018 Liked: Room comfort There had no reservations made. I do not like what happened. Do you know what it is like to be in a strange place and no room at 10pm ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Isolde Dec 3, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Dubious part of town.
