The bathroom was small and a little unclean, and the area surrounding the hotel (which I understand the hotel cannot help, but would have been nice to know about) is not the safest (especially at night). I would recommend this hotel for older, male travelers, but...

"Basic needs were met. The check-in area was expected to be more welcoming. The facilities, like the carpets and the parking lot at the back, need to be fixed for both appearance and safety."
