“I wouldn't recommend this hotel, even for a quick overnight stay. The location isn't ideal, particularly if you need airport access, and reports suggest it may not be the safest or cleanest option. While budget-friendly lodging can be a lifesaver, it's worth considering alternatives to avoid potential discomfort or safety concerns.”
