"Did not clean room when they were asked. A nightlight outlet flickered making an electrical popping noise constantly. The room doors were stuck and had shoulder it to open then it wouldn’t close completely.
I strongly recommend not using this location."
"The only thing I don’t like the room we stay there are 4-5 flys and mosquitoes inside the room and the single sofa has a stain that I can’t seat on it, they need to clean it up!
About Food & Drinks:
Coffee tastes like water but the juices are good.
The breakfast food wasn't good; unlike other hotels that offer sausages or patties, they had pancakes, but they were very thin and tiny."
"It was the worse hotel, I had ever seen. spiderwebs everywhere, sticky floors. No soap. Ripped, and dirty sheets and covers, cigarettes burns everywhere. It smelled like weed everywhere. The " breakfast " was actually shocking, only stale cereal....that's it. I am not recommending this place to anyone."
