The first room we were shown we could not stay in, there was a heavy chlorine and smoke smell. They showed us to a second room, that was not cleaned properly and finally they upgraded us to a room that was quite nice, just the beds were very hard.

Everything was at least decent minus the hardness of the bed. Although it's still better than being too soft. Area not great to find things to do, but a 5 minute cab from the rest of the city.
