My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The location seems a bit shady, and while the room was reasonably clean, the overall vibe of the place was uncomfortable. The customer service was unkind and seemed put out by any requests. You might find better options elsewhere, especially for the price.

This hotel definitely has an interesting history, but I found it lacking in cleanliness and comfort. The rooms felt more like a budget hostel with shared bathrooms and strange odors lingering in the hallways. While it may have a character of its own, the lack of modern amenities and poor service really detracts from the experience. Given the price, I would recommend looking for better options elsewhere.

My stay at this hotel was far from pleasant. Starting with the positives, it was centrally located and less expensive than nearby options. However, the room conditions were quite alarming, with extreme dirtiness, no privacy, and a shared bathroom situation that made my companion uneasy. Overall, I'd recommend looking for alternatives if you value cleanliness and comfort.

5.0/10

Staying at this hotel was definitely an experience, mainly due to its quirky charm, but it came with many downsides. The rooms left a lot to be desired, being cramped and quite outdated, with communal bathrooms that were less than ideal. While it’s centrally located, the noise from the surrounding area made it tough to relax. If you're on a tight budget and don't mind sacrificing comfort, it might work for you, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant stay.

This hotel is a budget option, centrally located, but it comes with several drawbacks. The staff was nice, but the amenities were lacking, and the room wasn't very comfortable. There were issues with cleanliness, particularly in shared spaces, which raised concerns about overall hygiene. Booking through online sites can cost you an extra $200, making it less of a value compared to other nearby options.
