Horrible
No where near the picture portrayed on hotel.com. Air conditioning didn’t work, no hot water, not even one bottle of drinking water. The first thing I did after entering the room was killing a roach. Fair is bit too much.

The buiding has not been maintained in decades. Somes parts are mouldy or crumbling down. The mattress is worn out and dirty. Cockroaches in the bathroom. Avoid this hotel, of which it has only the name
