In a good location. One downside was that noise travelled very easily through the walls. A big downside was that there were roaches all over the place, including some big ones. The little roaches were less noticeable, but were absolutely everywhere if you payed close attention. We had to try very hard to not take any back home with us.

The location of this hotel is perfect!! It has the potential to be so much more than it offers -- I think the dirty and unorganized lobby and courtyard are unfortunate. Just cleaning this up would make a big difference. The rooms are fine!
