Very bad experience, bedbugs all over, water leakage on third floor, no safety equipment to guarantee guests safety at t
Pros:

Nothing to like completely a scam the photos on line don’t match the product of the hotel, I need my total refund. The bed had unwashed blankets and I had bedbugs. I reported and nothing was done. Unfortunately, my flight was delayed and I arrived very late around 01am and I had nowhere else to go since the property is located in a doggy area of the city.
