Old, dirty and unsafe. The only good thing about this place is the location (close to downtown-5min) and the staff, they were nice and polite but never again here. I was a solo traveler and I just spent a night in here, it was enough. Overpriced for the room (80 bucks ) and the pool was dirty, I couldn’t get in it
