OK...normally when I read these reviews I think that they are harsh but these were dead on! We didn't have the problems with bugs but the rooms were small and the web site is really deceiving! My husband and I took our 12 year old daughter with us and we didn't want her out past dark when we were on... more

The list can go on and on. I wouldn't recommend this place to... more

When we arrived (after getting the bus and a train from the airport to the center of town - very easy and cheap even with 3 kids, a stroller and 2 suitcases), there was a leaflet about... more

Great value for budget travelers. Convenient location with great breakfast (with egg and bacon). A bit old, but great service. Ice machine didn't work while i stayed though. A suite with separate door entrance is available (shared bathroom). more
