We were offered accommodation at a lesser hotel about a 10-minute walk away, where we had to check in separately, check out the following day, and then return to this hotel for our room. No assistance ..."

"This place is nasty. We were scared of bed bugs. The carpet was disgusting. The walls paper thin. Whole floor reeked of cigs. Only pro was the proximity to airport. Tiny rooms. Would never recommend"
