Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It is exactly what you think it is. Right at the edge of the border, food options around, close to the Customs and Immigration Office so it was very easy to get the paperwork needed. Don't expect anything fance. Room, bathroom, simple necessities. Great experience. Would definitely stay here again if needed.
