The room is basic and clean. We only needed it for one night, so as a place to sleep it was fine. The best parts were the front desk staff. One helped us with getting a spot to charge our electric car on the fly, even though we hadn't reserved a spot. The other, when our plans had changed and we couldn't stay for the breakfast we'd paid for, packed two very lovely breakfast bags for us to take with us on the road. Budget hotel with luxury hotel staff.
I stayed at this hotel during the peak of summer, and unfortunately, it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I’ve had while traveling.
**First and foremost, the air conditioning was broken**—a critical issue when temperatures were high. The room felt like a sauna, and despite people posing multiple complaints to the front desk, no effective solution was offered.
To make matters worse, the hotel is located right next to a **cruising street where cars blast loud music late into the night**. The noise was relentless, and even with the windows shut (which only made the heat worse), the bass from the music kept vibrating through the walls.
The hotel itself wasn’t much quieter. **Thin walls and poor soundproofing** meant I could hear everything from neighboring rooms and the hallway—doors slamming, people talking, and even footsteps above. It felt more like a party hostel than a place to rest.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful or comfortable stay, especially in the summer. Between the broken AC, the street noise, and the general lack of quiet, it was nearly impossible to get a good night’s sleep.
