Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms need renovation and better cleaning
The rooms are often a disappointment for guests, as they haven't been thoroughly and properly cleaned. Trash and other remnants from previous guests are still there, and the towels don't seem to have always been refreshed. The overall décor is also faulted for being drab and overworn, which even for budget accommodations, is off-putting.
negative:
Bring your own linens for comfort
You may want to pack your own set of linens because the linens here aren't always refreshed or replaced. They're also not very comfortable, so you may prefer extra padding or something cosier on your skin.
negative:
A lot of trouble accessing the Wi-Fi
You're unlikely to steadily maintain a signal, and that's even if you can get a signal to begin with. Scope out the nearby cafes for a Wi-Fi hotspot, and keep in mind you may have step outside the inn to access online communication.
