4/10 Fair

You get what you pay for, maybe less.

This wasa no frill place. Shower did not work, effort had to be done to close the door, a little worn down, and the location is a little inconvenient.

2/10 Poor

The staff barely spoke english. The lady who walked us to our room was farting the whole way up the staircase! The halls smelled horribly of smoke in a non smoking hotel. Our room was in a completly different buildi g than main hotel. Our room had peeling paint in every corner. The walls were drippin with brown filth. The bathroom had what looked like mold on tub surround. The light fixture had wires hanging from ceiling. The remote didnt work. The freezer on mini fridge was frozen shut. The floors were sticky in our room. The floors in the hallway were filthy. The door into the building was broke at the handle. The other entrance had broken glass in it.
