I stayed here only one night and it was the worst place I have ever slept at. Especially the dirtiness was a big problem and I will never stay again at this place. More

Yes the price is attractive but don't go!!! It is dirty, there was hair in the washroom and the worst part, me and my friend were bitten by INSECTS during the night and we had a terrible allergy for many days. I even saw an insect on my pillow when I woke up. So if ever you decide to go,... More

Dirty, dirty, dirty!!! The room smelled like cigarette smoke and dirty socks. The comforter and bed sheets had holes in them and had a bad smell-- probably wasn't washed in a long time!! So we slept in our clothes on top of the comforter. Little did we know it was infested with bed bugs and we ended up waking up... More

First time I have ever left a hotel. I was in room 4 on the main floor. I can't explain how gross this was. I was put off during my hour or so in the room before I pulled back the bedspread to go to bed and found a bedbug. I found two more (took some pictures) and left. Front... More

If you are quite well travelled you tend to take the bad reviews with a grain of salt, characterising that the reviewer is perhaps one of those that doesn't seem to understand the 'you get what you paid for' notion. This is not one of those cases. It is one of those hostels/hotels that are so dirty and depressing that... More

Actually, after being really happy for having found a place so near downtown and the beaches at such a price, I read the reviews and got reallly scared. But the horror stories were a bit overstated. The place is old but the guy at the counter was really courteous and willing to help. The room was small and not updated... More

I'm not one to nitpick at hotels, especially hostels. I was well aware of what I was in for before I stayed at the Downtowner Inn. For paying that little money a night, I knew I couldn't complain about much. But really... what is up with this place? It has to be the most depressing and run down joint I've... More
