Stayed in room 210 and felt very uncomfortable with a window that was facing a 10+ foot wall. It was clean and spacious. The hotel is surrounded with mom and pop restaurants, pharmacy, supermarket and a beauty salon. Property is located approximately 20 minute walking distance from the city center.
