We didn't even stay, as we where checking in we realized what kind of hotel it was. We just turned around and ask for a refund, we'll se if we get it back, I have my doubts. This is a per hour hotel, if you know what I mean. Dont waste your money here, unless you need it for a few hours, at your own risk.
