Old and loud.
The hotel is very old and the tub is so deep and slippery. I was so scared of taking a shower. At night time there was partying and drinking until dawn. It gets so loud we couldn’t sleep. And in the morning trucks come by to collect alcohol bottles from the street.

It’s at least a bed to sleep in.
It’s a bed to sleep in…. The entrance to the hotel is very nice. Then you get in your room and there are major stains all over the carpet, holes in the wall, smears of “something” on the wall, tape over power outlets, etc. it is centrally located and the staff were very friendly.
