The stay was fine but the checkout overcharged my card and has not refunded it.
Pros:

The hotel was fine.

Cons:

They charged me for my room when I already paid through a travel agency. I still have not received my refund as of now.

It will do if you don't have anywhere else to go for that particular momment but it certainly will be a last resort
Pros:

The front desk girl was very nice. The only reason the place was bearable

Cons:

It smelled like musty weed the entire hallway and elevator. The tv did not work. There was a blood drop on a towel and the ac in the room hardly worked at all

For 150 a night that was absolutely insane. High prices, ghetto quality.
