The hotel staff are very nice especially Hans, Armida and Tracy. They are very accommodating with my request. I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It's worth money spent. The place is nice and close to various business establishments. It is highly recommended to budget conscious travelers.

Beds are really uncomfortable, set up is weird with no bathroom in your room and shared hall way bathrooms. My window had no screen or circulation. Staff was nice but facility was more like a hostel than a hotel
