Outside is super cute and the staff was really nice, but the inside of the property is very run down and there was black mold all over the ceiling. Especially in the bathroom. Bathroom mat was covered in mold. Only stayed for 1 night to catch an early ferry

Terrible place. Avoid staying at this place.

This place stinks, very rude front desk (Omar). We left the property with in an hour due to its inhabitable condition. We booked 2 rooms for 3 nights but ended up not even staying for the day. They still charged 1 night for 2 rooms. I understand they might have strict cancellation policy but the place have to be habitable. I have small kids with asthma and this place is dangerous.

It had beds and we did sleep

We were greeted by a welcoming daddy long legs on the wall. The room was reasonably clean unless you looked under the beds. The burn marks on the table gave it a rustic feel. The stick in the open sliding window gave a faint sence of security. The premium HVAC system included a fan on the desk and an AC unit on the floor with a hose out the window. We had the VIP suite on the second floor closest to the road for maximum noise. The courtyard has a large non-functioning fountain.

Very run down. Mattress and pillows lumpy. Worst of all bottom sheet on bare, old mattress. No mattress pad. The sheet was too small and we had to get up multiple times to try to fit it back on. Curtains too long on floor but let light in insides. Lots of road noise. Bare bulbs in bathroom light. Outside cement dirty.

Nothing was unique about this property. TV didn't work, lamp shade torn, room door didn't lock or open properly. grounds poorly kept up and looked aweful. out of the way Wouldn't recommend - better to pay a little more for the Ramada down the street.

I loved this place, it was amazing, honestly! There was some damages to the walls when i got there and some patch work that needed painting. But i was so looking forward to a warm bath. And then i find the drains been broken. Other than that it was bad. Maybe a rug under the bed.

This is place isn't so cheap anymore and is quite rundown. Damaged walls, unfinished repairs, broken fixtures, microwave from the 80's, no coffee maker. Garbage on hotel ground, moldy/dirty patio furniture. Friendly staff
