Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very basic rooms — Rooms are minimal – clean and comfortable for some, but lacking in frills. Don't expect luxury.
- Some guests felt uneasy about the immediate area — The surrounding streets had a number of people loitering, which made a few guests uncomfortable.
- Inconsistent experience — While many praise the staff and location, at least one guest was clearly dissatisfied and wouldn't return.
- Low overall rating — The hotel's average guest score is 6.3/10, with lower marks for value, dining, and facilities.
