I must say . just avoid it ...... its located in a mall with a small front office and then you are led to your room through a dark staircase which sees some light only after reaching the level where is going to be your room ....... keys are just so wonderful that you will have to highlight the room...

I wanted to add a more recent review of this place. I stayed here in 2009 and recently considered staying again last week. In 2009 this place was already struggling. It was quite apparent few people stayed there and there wasn't a lot of upkeep. I was shocked to see how fast it had deteriorated in just 2.5 years though.... More
