Pros +

  • The location of this hotel is amazing! The bed was comfortable. We love staying here!!
  • Hotel reception
  • The location seemed like it would be convenient, if the ownership would keep the location safe.

Cons -

  • The host is really nice
  • Upon checking in, we had to pass a gauntlet of men smoking drugs and drinking. We immediately felt unsafe and ran for our room. Inside our room it was dark and grubby with broken tiles and grime in the bathroom. The place reeked of pot smoke.
  • noisy neighbors upstairs, smokers on premises
