2/10 Poor

Don't get fooled, its terrible
Photos and lobby entrance gives the impression that it is a nice hotel, but it is in fact terrible. Rooms are oddly shaped, outdated, no AC in rooms. Staff doesnt pick up the phone. Rooms are extremely far from reception, and you need to take several elevators and hallways to get to your room. Terrible stay.
