If you just need a place to crash for a few hours, it works. But for picky travelers, consider...

The receptionist was ‘missing’, the credit card machine was broken. Payment cash was done but the hotel would not want to issue payment receipts when I asked them to do so because the staff that supposedly must be there are not at the reception desk for entire time including...
