This hotel should not be listed on any travel site, as it is not a a place where any normal person can stay. Rather, it is a hotel for prostitution and other illegal activities. We saw disturbing things during the first 30 minutes of checking in so we left. It was not safe to stay there.

I needed a last minute hotel for one night that was close to the airport so I booked a room here. Walked into the room and immediately walked out, gave back the keys and said no way in hell would I stay here. This place was disgusting. I’m surprised this place hasn’t been shut down. I don’t recommend staying here whatsoever. Don’t sacrifice price for quality.
