This is the worst place I have ever been to. It was late in the night and wanted to stay in a place for shower and deep sleep but I couldn’t. Because there were lots of cockroaches and towels smelled so bad. Just left in the morning early as soon as possible. Check the review before you go. They are real.

The place is a hell hole, it’s dirty, smells horrible, dark, and it’s full of unhealthy activity. No cancellations or refunds according to the front desk. Please don’t stay there if you value your safety
