A very disappointing stay that was nothing like advertised and completely ruined my trip
Pros:

unfortunately nothing

Cons:

There was nothing I liked about the hotel. It was dirty and not like the photos I saw on the website at all. There were many small insects, and the carpet, sheets, and even the curtains were dirty and torn.
And the LOCATION was the worst. For two nights, I couldn’t sleep at all because of the motorcycles—you hear them every two seconds. It’s unbelievable; it feels like they’re in your room, not on the street. it completely ruined my trip
