Pros:

Very good location within the city, but feels insecure outside of the facility. The facility has a strong security system and parking. However seems like there are 3 exits but only 1 works.

Cons:

Cockroaches, small ones. Seems like only one person cleans the whole hotel, so at times it does look dirty.
