“I've seen reports of serious issues, like insect infestations and broken fixtures, which would make me very wary of booking here; other accommodations in the area may offer a more reliable stay. Based on what I've read, the building's condition seems to be a significant concern. I would suggest researching alternatives before making a reservation.”
