reasonable stay overall

helpful staffexcellent valueconvenient locationshabby appearanceold windownoisy street
the staff was quite good and really helpful. the hotel was an excellent value considering its price. i found the location to be convenient, near a bus stop.
the hotel appears a bit shabby with somewhat old windows. there's no air conditioning so opening the windows is necessary. the street outside can get very noisy and also dirty.
