"The staff was very friendly, and check-in was quick. The room was clean, though it smelled strongly of cigarettes; it was clear that the previous guest had ignored the "no smoking" sign on the room door—that, however, is not the hotel's fault. The price was affordable compared to other hotels in the area, and you get what you pay for: a clean place to sleep, without any frills."
