    Tato checked me in and was nice enough. I was here for about 3hours before checking out. The hotel is clean but this a very very low budget hotel. In winter it would be freezing because there is no heating whatsoever . I think it’s really just for the locals. I regret picking this hotel. It’s really below standard
