You get what you're paying for. Maybe I got really lucky with the room but the experience wasn't even close to bad as other negative reviews point out (I got room 503). Clean room, private bathroom inside the room, decently comfortable bed, balcony, fan, no bad odors. No AC during summer is a bummer, and the inability to arrive at the hotel from 2AM to 7AM is inconvenient, the elevator is also a death trap, and granted I only stayed for around 5 hours, but it wasn't bad at all. Fairly close to Metro L1 as well. Not a bad option if you're on a budget.
