Tiny rooms but incredible location. Overpriced for what you actually get and felt like a dorm. Lots of travelers loitering in the lobby.

If you don't want an iron or a fridge in your room or ice on your floor or a bathroom with privacy, and you like catchy phrases, this is your hotel. "Iron Heaven," the small, unventilated room on the floor with the one (weird) iron, was beyond awful. If you want a room to sleep in, and want nothing more out of your hotel, this is your place.
