The hotel needs updating and there... More

My mother and brother was staying here while visiting family in the area. They were not impressed. It needs to be done up to defend taking the price. My brother thought it was a bit scary, and my mother noticed upon arriving late one evening that the breakfast for the following day (served in front of the hotel door) already... More

This hotel is awful, worst hotel I have ever been in ever! RUDE STAFF - Indian man served us and he clearly didn't give a sh1ts! Can't believe this place even exists, awful! Dirty sheets, dirty rooms, uncomfortable beds, rude staff... What else is there to say to discourage ANYONE staying here? DO NOT STAY HERE!

Stayed one night on a business trip as not much else in area. Awful place, totally run down, staff not around, must prepay on arrival and then no staff in morning. Small, threadbare dormitory room, with cold boxed cereal in AM at exorbitant price.
