Good value. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The breakfast was gone by 6:30 am. It was either eaten by hungry travelers or stolen by a homeless person. There were only like 7 other people there and no one was up when I was leaving. The front desk is not staffed

The property is in serious disrepair and filthy. There was open garbage in the common area. My shower leaked all night. It is in a remote area and there might have been two other people there. No reception staff or security

Never seen any staff in person. Room was supposed to be a queen bed it was a full size. Whole in the wall. Electrical wires hanging out of the wall. Floors were dirty. Curtain wasn’t hung properly. Not worth the money !
