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 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.
