Disappointed with everything.
Pros:

Unfortunately Nothing like in this property.

Cons:

Unfortunately, there was very little to like about this property. The room was extremely congested and uncomfortable, and the toilet area was also far too cramped. Basic amenities were lacking—there wasn’t even any tissue provided in the room. The refrigerator door could not be opened properly, which was another inconvenience.
There were many other issues that made the stay disappointing. Overall, the property did not meet expectations, and there is significant room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, space, facilities, and basic guest amenities.

Malhumorada
Pros:

El desayuno fue simple pero no estuvo mal. El personal hizo su trabajo bien.

Cons:

La habitación parecía que se venía abajo. Todo tenía olor a cigarrillo. Colchón viejo, desgastado ya marcado por el uso. El baño estaba hecho en un espacio mínimo. La habitación estaba sucia, habían migas, envoltorios de galletas abajo la cama, pelusas en el respaldo de la cama.
