Friendly staff

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was kind of run down and...damp? It wasn't the nicest place to stay but not bad for the price.

The hotel had a security guard. Not sure if that made me feel safer or more nervous. Reasonably priced and was better than we were expecting. Nicely remodeled. The only issue we had was that our room was very damp. The air-conditioning had the room very cool but didn't get rid of the humidity. Would stay here again with family, not sure if I would stay here alone.
