it was fine as a place to spend a night. the location was chaotic.
Cons:

the finishings in the room were poorly done. We had booked 2 double beds but were given 2 singles. there was no hot water in our room and the door to our bathroom didn't close. the restaurant was very slow and used processed "cheese" in our sandwiches instead of proper cheese.
