Good location but basic hotel
It was fine. The hotel is a bit dilapidated. We were on the ground floor and could hear the bathrooms on either side of us constantly. Every flush. Good location. Amenities are minimal.

There was no closet or even a rack to hang clothes and only one small clothes drawer. Very noisy in the room above us. Had to stay in a side building away from main hotel.
