“I noted some polite staff and a clean pool but I'm afraid that's where the positives end, in my opinion. I saw several reports of rooms in unacceptable condition, and while some guests felt at home here, the location may make others feel uneasy. For travelers prioritizing budget above all else, this could be an option, but be aware of potential drawbacks.”
