Pros:
-beds are comfortable and sheets, towels and room carpets look clean
-parking was convenient (in the back of the building)
-the AC conditioning worked properly and there was a mini fridge in the room
Cons:
-it wasn’t mentioned in the description of those hotel on ******* that for the price over $150 US dollars you get a room with no shower/toilet . The shared amenities on the floor include two shower stalls, two toilets and one (!) sink for 15 rooms. The showers have NO HOT WATER!
- The rooms are tiny and very minimally furnished, which would be totally fine with us, but the walls are paper thin and there was a huge gap in the glass shades on the window, so that for the whole night it felt like trains from outside of the street and people in the corridor are going right through your room. There was a small TV above one of the beds but no remote, so I am not sure if it was working. Also there were sticks of instant coffee and sugar in the room but no kettle or coffee maker. Why would you need coffee supplies then?
- Half of the night starting around 2 am someone (without a key card I guess) was banging the door downstairs trying to get in.
- The rooms have COCKROACHES!!!
