Very much a “get what you pay for” place but with friendly owners who do their best to accommodate. I stayed while they were getting brand new AC units and it got so hot in my room. I asked them if they have any type of portable fans & the manager gave me the one out of his office.

No ac, load music, and constant people slamming doors and yelling. No fans and poor air flow. Beds felt like over filled air mattress

No a/c, no fan, no ventilation, although website misleadingly says there's air conditioning in the room. Windows don't have any net screens, so cannot be left open. So no air circulation in the room. No soap provided in the bathroom. No drinking water provided. Kitchenette mentioned in the website is not a kitchenette. There's just a fridge and a microwave. No counter, no cups, bowls, dishes, no utensils and no stove or cooking vessels. The TV had no signal, so did not work.

I appreciate that they informed me about that the rooms doesn’t have A/C. The bed had wells and doesn’t stay firm in one place. Bathroom window had the windows bars broken (looks like someone tried to get in in the pass)

No air-conditioning, WIFI doesn’t work, the sink drainage issue, furnitures broken… How could such a condition still in business and charging money?

The hotel would not allow us to get checked in. We could not get a room and we were charged we showed the receipt the itinerary and the confirmation and still could not get a room.

Gave us grief about our age, refused to look at the reservation until we were interrogated, had to beg the front desk man to let us have the room we booked. Ended up staying somewhere else. Don’t waste your time.

Paul • Family Trip

The room was filthy, smelled of ammonia, and had windows that would not close. When we asked for the TV remote, we were handed a remote that seemed covered in something sticky. The room on Expedia was listed as having AC, but none of their rooms have AC. When we asked for a discount, we were told there are no discounts. The front desk clerk was unable to communicate with us due to his limited English, and he was inside a barrier, like you would find at a very sketchy motel. Do NOT book at this place!
