Horrible y decepcionante hospedaje
Pros:

Horrible experiencia de hospedaje, decepcionante lugar, habitación horrible, toallas desgastadas, sin limpieza ni recambio de toallas o equipo de camas, almohadas sin el mínimo confort, muy sucio alojamiento., ruido noctu

Cons:

Todo, no me gustó nada, destacar noches horribles, mucho ruido por huéspedes de paso ya que este alojamiento se renta por horas, no adecuado para hospedarse con niños, olor a humo y a sustancias, nadie hace regencia de las horas de silencio, no importa la tranquilidad de los demas, personas vociferando y tocando puertas en la madrugada.

Decent for short stays
Pros:

This accommodation is for persons looking for cheap stay, comfortable bed, working ac, hot & cold shower, working toilet. Not fridge, microwave or anything like that, We stayed here for just a few hours as we had a long layover and needed a place to stay. For the price you cannot go wrong.

Cons:

The forget to put toilet paper in our room. We had to purchase our own
