The property lookds nothing like the pictures. Dirty and run down. We struggled to get the key to work every time we tried to enter the room. People were cooking in their rooms. It smelled like fried fish. Would not stay here ever again.

This hotel is hands-down one of the worst I’ve ever stayed at. Let me start by saying that the good reviews must be fake—there’s no way anyone could have a positive experience here. The moment we walked into the room, we were hit with an overwhelming smell of must and dampness. The carpet was so wet it felt like we were stepping on a soaked sponge the entire time. It’s impossible to feel clean in a place like this. The neighborhood was sketchy, to put it mildly. We didn’t feel safe walking outside, and the building itself was in complete disrepair—nothing like the pictures they advertise online. they do not reflect the actual state of this dump. We booked this hotel because they claimed to offer airport transportation. Spoiler alert: they don’t. That was the main reason we chose this place, and it turned out to be yet another lie. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. Save yourself the stress, the discomfort, and the regret—book anywhere else. This place deserves zero stars.

There is too much to say. There are renovations happening and we even got a key to a room that was already occupied. That is why i consider it unsafe. The renovations do not work. They really need to figure things out. There is no transportation to the airport either
