BEWARE of the man at the reception desk!
Cons:

BEWARE! I’m a guy in his twenties. The Indian male aged approx 60 who works there after showing me my room proceeded to linger in my room after he’d shown me everything & setup a working fan for the room. He would not leave except just stand & stare at me. He asked where I was from & then began eyeing me & saying how strong the people are from my country were. Next thing I know, he’s squeezing my bicep & his hand makes his way towards my crotch. I grabbed his hand immediately and lightly pushed it away trying to remain professional and polite. GET RID OF THIS MAN!! I was hesitant to write this and not take myself seriously as this happened on March 26th at approx 12pm & from my country telephone calls to the USA cost a fortune so I cannot call to report this. But it made the stay for me quite uncomfortable. If it’s happened to me, I fear it’s happened to other males or females or is going to. Please take the review seriously & I advise you find an alternative place. No member of staff should be putting their hands on guests. Thankfully nothing happened after this for the rest of the week & I only encountered him when pressing the buzzer to let me inside twice. But I thought it was important to write this just incase.

Cons:

Por el precio no esta mal lo que obtienes en cuanto a la habitación y servicios; es limitado pero es algo esperado. Lo malo es que aunque tiene buena ubicación por estar centrico y cerca de lineas de transporte, afuera en la calle esta lleno de zombies.
