My stay at this hotel was far from satisfactory. While it had low rates that initially tempted me, I quickly realized that you get what you pay for. The rooms were poorly maintained, and cleanliness was a significant issue. I also faced challenges with my booking, adding to my frustration. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're looking for the bare minimum.

My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. The room was in a deplorable state, with visible signs of dirt and neglect. Service was rude and unhelpful when I reported issues, which only added to my frustration. It's definitely not worth the low price, as I felt unsafe and uncomfortable the whole time I was there.

Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was a complete letdown. The rooms were not only unclean but also filled with unpleasant odors, bugs, and general filth. The service was lacking, and the management was unhelpful, refusing to take responsibility for the state of the property. While the low rates might attract some, I would strongly advise against staying here if you value your health and comfort.

This hotel was a huge letdown. I experienced terrible cleanliness issues and unhelpful service throughout my stay. The location is decent, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Save your money and find somewhere better; this place isn't worth it at all.

My experience at this hotel was far from pleasant. The cleanliness was absolutely lacking, with filthy sheets and a smelly room. The staff were rude and unhelpful, making the stay even worse. On the upside, the low rates might appeal to budget travelers, but honestly, I'd recommend spending a bit more for a better experience instead.
