Not worth your money
Pros:

The Hotel staff is decent. Rest everything needs serious upgrade.

Cons:

The Hotel really needs an upgrade at the earliest. The room given to us lacked a lot of things. The bathroom door would not lock. , The AC would go down, very down and we would wake up in the middle of the night sweating. The interiors also need upgrade considering the charges.
The breakfast is totally avoidable. Nothing worth mentioning. The staff is good though but theres only little they can do.

It’s an affordable option if you are on a budget
Pros:

Price was reasonable for the facilities

Cons:

Our twin room was very small with little room to manoeuvre around the beds. Area is very congested as it’s near a market.
