the room was very clean. the shower had good pressure and hot water. the staff was helpful and friendly. i received one free beer for skipping cleanup one night, which tasted very good.
the hotel seemed a bit far from the center. i had to walk through a dark, lonely street to get there. this wasn't the best experience, especially at night.
