This place was one of the few with room available after a flight disruption to my final destination so I have to sleep here to continue my trip day after, fortunately a taxi took me there. The first impression was that the area was not safe at al and in the outside was drug dealers. I came like at almost midnight so I was hungry I just want to take a bite before go to bed. The guy in the reception was very kind and suggested that I could walk to the train station nearby where were several choices for eat, I reply: are you crazy? With those guys selling drugs outside? He just laughed, I believe they are pretty use to this environment then but me as a foreign woman, alone at that time of the day, was not at all agree to expose myself in that way. So he try to help me and we call several places to order delivery and 90% was closed and the only 2 places open didn’t take credit card. So in my desperation run to the train station and run back, I still believe he could aloud me to make a sandwich which some ingredients they use for the breakfast and charge me for it but he say was not possible, I just can’t understand how difficult could that be. Anyway I just run to the room wich was the first one( first floor) so the first thing I notice is that my window give straight to the drugs dealers was seating outside, the hotel was full so I had to stay in that one. I was a bit suggestioned coz of the facts so I check the windows and locks, I find hard to sleep, and when the tiredness almost defeated me, was sirens, guys fighting beside window and so on. Horrible night, and I think I had to pay for it!. Breakfast day after was nice and condition of the room too.
