I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it has some potential, there were definitely some drawbacks. On the plus side, I met some wonderful people who provided a warm welcome, and I got to see one of the newly renovated rooms, which showed promise. However, the overall cleanliness and condition of the other rooms left much to be desired, making it hard for me to recommend staying here until improvements are made. The price was fairly reasonable, which is a plus.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had quite a mixed experience. On the positive side, I met some really nice people who took pride in the recent renovations, making it feel more like a hidden gem. However, I faced some issues with the smoking rooms despite my non-smoking request, and the overall condition of the room was disappointing. The price felt a bit steep given the challenges I encountered during my visit.

My stay was quite disappointing due to the condition of the rooms and the overall atmosphere. The cleanliness left much to be desired, and the experience felt unsafe at times. On a brighter note, the restaurant nearby had some decent Spanish food that I enjoyed, but that alone doesn't justify the high price for such poor quality.

I was really disappointed with my stay. This place clearly promotes itself as a hotel, but it felt more like a motel with no privacy. The night was chaotic, and I barely managed to sleep because of the noise around me. The cleanliness and safety are major concerns here, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, particularly given the experience of losing my deposit.

My husband and I were quite disappointed with our stay. The room was dirty and smelly, which made us feel uncomfortable. The location was okay, but we didn't feel safe with some rough characters around. On the plus side, there's a nice restaurant nearby. Overall, I would not recommend this place due to its lack of cleanliness and safety issues.

My stay was quite disappointing. I found the room to be dirty and smelly, which made it uncomfortable. While the management seems to be working on improvements, there is still a long way to go. On the plus side, the hotel is reasonably priced, but I would have preferred to spend a little more for a cleaner experience.
