Overrated stay with some issues.

low pressure lumpy bed

I did not enjoy the shower. The water pressure seemed like needles on my skin. The bed felt lumpy. It hurt my back, I heard everything going on. I could hear people walking and taps running and other guests talking through the walls. I left tired.

Underwhelming Stay

small room cramped bathroom

The room size was a real issue. I found it very small for the price I paid. The bathroom felt cramped, and this made using the toilet uncomfortable. I think these budget rooms should have a warning about their size.
