Liked: Cleanliness
This place was clean enough. Pretty outdated. Cover on bed was dated green, the blanket under had cigarette burns. It was just a hotel to stay in the night before our flight so we were okay with it. You could hear fighting through the vents and traffic outside. Not the safest place if you have a long stay.

Hairdryer does not work. Little toilet paper. Too few towels. Not a bad place but not a good place. Would probably not stay here again unless we had to.
