Hotel OK, dangerous shower
The hotel is basic. The room and bathroom were surprisingly clean, including the mattress and bedsheets. However, the overall impression was marred by stains on the walls and bed base, pipes and cables exposed. Only one towel was provided, and there was no soap in the room. The noise from the street and the corridor was loud. Like other reviewers, during my shower I encountered a concerning issue – the water heater in the shower head started sparking very brightly. I know little about electricity, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's life-threatening. I only stayed for 3 hours to wash and rest before the flight, so it served its purpose. We survived the shower.

I liked that the staff was very polite and friendly. But the water pump was directly under my room so it was pretty loud even at night

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I only ended up staying one night because there were no fans in the room and so the window had to stay open for air circulation and it was incredibly loud all night. The hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful, but the amenities were pretty bare bones and the lack of fan and the noise made it pretty difficult to sleep.

Let’s just say the pictures online are the opposite of what it actually is. The area is dingy as in homeless people sleeping outside the front door. You are better off sleeping at a truck stop. We paid for 2 nights! We arrived at midnight and by day break we were out of there!!!! DONT DO IT
