"When I arrived, I headed to the reception, where two guys were present and giving me some odd looks. I introduced myself and said I wanted to check in.

"The Hotel Marinela is truly unique, perhaps resembling a huge boutique hotel. The decor is unmatched, and maybe not to everyone's taste.

"The location has easy access to a bus stop (right out in front of it) lots of food options within a 15 minute walk.
Some parts of my room were updated with a more modern look. Just others had remains of what once was. There were 3 wall mounted light sources, non of which worked.
The clothing cabinet doors were not set right (off the sliding hinge) and the mirror one had several cracks.
The bathroom ceiling had outlines and stain evidence of mold that had been painted over.
The daily cleaning was totally random. Some days they would stop by at 930 in the morning and one day it wasn't until 1530 when cleaning came by.
The bed was 2 twin mattresses pushed together, with a blanket meant for a Queen size and not the king size layout it had.
The air-conditioning could never cool the room below 24°C and if you opened the window at night. The noise from the busy road, never ended. Be it students racing each other well past 1 in the morning or just general automotive noise.
The 2 rooms on each side, had a balcony and the guests for those rooms during my stay, would be out on the balcony until 2 in the morning talking and drinking.
The room had a lack of power outlets as well."
