The Lodge 18 is very basic. On the other hand, it's also very cheap. I reserved a "deluxe" room, thinking we might like whatever additional luxury was available. The room was clean and good sized and had the necessities--bed, pillows, towels, aircon, bathroom, shower, soap, glasses, and drinking water. No refrigerator, though. The shower is in a full sized bathtub, which was a bit hard to get in and out of. There was not enough hot water for our showers to be comfortable. I chose the hotel at least partly because a previous reviewer said the neighborhood had shops and restaurants, but by the time we arrived about 8:30 PM, almost everything had shut down. There is a convenience store across the street, and we finally found a good Indian restaurant around the block. For breakfast, we headed to the Palm Tree hotel across the street, which looks a bit more upmarket. I appreciated the fact that there was a lift, so we didn't have to drag our bags upstairs, and the electronic door locks seem to be good quality. Overall, I guess you get what you pay for, and for a quick overnight with an early morning meeting, the Lodge 18 was fine.
