Long Past Renovation
Several guests remarked that even the low price they paid was not worth the accommodations they received. It's a worn-out hotel according to guests’ comments. In addition, some visitors stated that the picture shown online don't match the current state of the hotel. A good refurbishing and some updated decor are long overdue they say.
negative:
Long List of Maintenance Grievances
Some visitors mentioned that everything from the air-conditioning to the coffee pots are nonfunctional. Other guests state that even the furniture is broken. So along with appearance, the hotel also needs work to make it functional.

Employees Could Step up Their Game
Whether it was the rude and unfriendly front desk or horrible housekeeping, some guests mentioned that you won't find much in the way of a positive staff at this hotel. However, some visitors stated that they really enjoyed their staff interactions. So your experience when it comes to customer service might vary from one employee to the next.
