The property was in poor condition. The door was difficult to open and close and the chain lock was missing. There was an unpleasant smell in the room. No regular coffee was available for the in room coffee maker.

The room was tidy and roomy enough. For the most part, the room was clean except dripping water in the bathtub left some unsightly stains. I really didn’t want to shower in it.

Friendly check in but set your standards very low, the room was sooo gross, mismatched old furniture, curtains that were ripped, falling apart, full of cob webs,bottom of bed all ripped, bathroom was terrible all stained, mildew, corrosion, holes in wall, peeling paint all over. Air conditioner sounded like a freight train all night.

Good price but dirty

There was an initial issue with the booking where they thought I only had one room versus two. The manager attempted to fix it. My biggest gripe is how dirty it was. The hard surface floors were definitely not swept. Bugs and dirt. I didn’t see any alive bugs, but plenty of dead ones. I look for, but did not see any bedbugs so that’s good. But really I thought it was very dirty in both rooms
