“In my opinion, while the location might be convenient, reports of cleanliness issues and lack of basic amenities raise concerns. Based on what I've gathered, travellers arriving late may face difficulties, and some have found the overall condition of the rooms disappointing. For me, a pleasant greeting upon arrival doesn't fully compensate for the issues raised in what I read.”
