This hotel is pretty much what you'd expect for the price. It's a decent spot to crash for the night, especially if you're traveling light as a backpacker. The bathroom was clean, and there's free Wi-Fi in the lobby, which is a plus. However, the rooms felt quite old and cramped, lacking a bit of charm and comfort. Overall, it's budget-friendly, but don't expect luxury.

This hotel offers basic accommodations at a budget price, which is perfect for travelers just looking for a place to sleep. However, the rooms are quite small and dated, and the noise from outside can be bothersome. Wi-Fi is only available in common areas, but the bathrooms are clean. It's a decent spot if you're just passing through, but don't expect much in terms of comfort.

I stayed at this budget hotel primarily because of the low price, which I found to be reasonable for a quick overnight stay. While the bathroom was clean and the view of the plaza was nice, the room itself was small and dated, making it not ideal for comfort. The lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms was also a drawback, though it was available in the lobby. Overall, it’s best suited for backpackers looking for a simple stopover.

This hotel is a decent choice if you're on a budget and just need a place to sleep while passing through. The location right by the plaza offers nice views, but the noise from the flat screen playing loud shows can be disruptive. Rooms are quite small and in need of some updates, but they are clean, which is a plus. Free Wi-Fi is available, but only in the lobby, and the lack of dining options is a downside.

This hotel is very much a budget option, making it a decent choice for backpackers or anyone just looking for a place to crash. The room prices are very affordable, but the quality of the rooms leaves a bit to be desired. I appreciated the clean bathroom and free Wi-Fi, although it was limited to the lobby area. Just be prepared for small, dark, and somewhat dated rooms.
