We had a great visit, the rooms are small and quiet but the cleaning lady might want to pay attention to details. But you can't beat the price. It was a good place to hit the hey for a fraction of the price anywhere else. It was close to town and a turn around to head out of town. I will stay here again. But bring your own towels and shampoo.

The room was clean and comfortable. The A/C was very loud so that would be something to fix. The breakfast was very basic but nice. All in all, it was perfectly adequate for a one night stay.

Affordable and good service. Age of the rooms show, but it was clean and comfortable.

Vihu always stayed friendly besides being patient and respectful. All the inquiries received from me were greeted with a sign of both help and warm smile and not a speck of annoyance. It was possible to work under a very comfortable atmosphere due to the calm nature of her!!!

Front desk is super nice and friendly. She is very kind to upgrade us to 2 separate beds instead of 1 bed as booked and being very helpful. The beds are very comfortable to sleep in, the only comment is the bedding was a little old that even the blanket covers were visibly worn and torn. Overall is still good because it's best budget, you get what you paid for.

An honest, not picky review: For under $100, this place was awesome. Even had a breakfast in the morning! There was mould in the bathroom (quite a bit), so if that will ruin your stay, pay more and stay somewhere else... We were pleasantly surprised how clean the room was and how comfortable the beds were! I'd stay here again!

Room was comfy. Just needed a clean place to rest out heads. Traveling through. The TV worked but was not as simple as turning on or off. It did work in the end. Other than that, bed was comfy, shower was hot. Nice sized room. Very good for the price. Clean.
