Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Budget Hotel Worse than budget not worth it."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Advertised as no smoking hotel but room stunk; bathroom fixtures missing no shower curtain, water on bathroom floor; had to go back to front desk@11:00pm to get towels, power strip off and Microwave not connected. Advertised breakfast, joke coffee and brownie! Worst situation I've had in my 60 years of travelling. Will not try to save money on hotel like this again.
