One of the most disgusting places I’ve ever seen. Checked in and immediately checked out. Smelled like cigarettes, stains everywhere. Disgusting bathroom. Felt itchy as soon as I stepped in

The blanket was basically two sheets, there was a stain on the full wall-sized mirror that sat right next to the bed, there was a huge splatter stain on the ceiling, very noisy hallway until 3 in the morning

The conditions of the place match the price of the accommodation. It was clean, but the room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke — way too much. I had to sleep the whole night with a T-shirt covering my nose and mouth because at times I couldn’t breathe well due to the smoke smell. // Las condiciones del lugar es acorde al precio del hospedaje, estaba limpio pero la habitación olía demasiado a humo de cigarrillo pero demasiado tuve que dormir toda la noche con un camiseta cubriendo mi nariz y mi boca porque en ocasiones no podia respirar muy bien.

Very noisy here. I think there is construction in the next room. Doesn’t feel clean. And the dead bolt was broken off.

Wouldn’t stay here again, unless changes are made.

Beds were really squeaky and moved a lot every time I sat down. Awful smell as soon as you go upstairs. I had to have my room changed upon check in because the first room smelled really bad of body odor and cigarettes, even though the booking was for non-smoking. Changed my room again and it didn’t smell, but the room wasn’t as clean and had the same issue with the bed.
