Dirty hotel, beds uncomfortable. Pints - lines haven't been cleaned, tasted horrible. Noisy hotel, here all the rooms around us. Bathroom in poor condition. Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Not sure why Expedia promote this hotel or have it as a listing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst hotel room I have ever seen. The beds were small and uncomfortable. The bedding was thin. The floor was not level. There was no furniture to store clothes. The room was dirty, tired, and uninviting. We stayed for 5 minutes and decided to leave and find alternative accommodation. Awful!!
