The guy at front desk couldn’t speak English and had to call the boss who said he’s be back in 30 min to check me in but they gave me a room to stay in. Walk in, smells like urine. Carpet floors are wet and filthy. Bed was damp. Remote to tv laying there had tape on it and didn’t work. I went to sit on bed and felt it was damp so go up and left immediately. Unbelievable how bad it was. I’ve stayed in some cheap hotels for quick sleep and shower but this place wasn’t worth $8 in Asia. Worst I e ever seen in all my years of traveling. I don’t complain. But wow. I just left. Keep the $40 and buy gasoline to blaze it.

Sketchiest place I’ve ever showered. Planning to stay here while husband was hospitalized, ended up just going there 1x/day to shower and sleeping in a recliner at the hospital. Heavy on the stale pot and cigarette smoke, nothing cleaned or wiped, same food spilled all over the counter in by the crusty microwave for days. Back doors propped open with rugs. Perfect if your looking for something sketchy.

Great value for the money

Nothing fancy. They had a pool, but it was drained. They had ice machine, which is always good that function. But it was clean and quiet and everything worked. It was $25 for our dog not $20 like we thought was advertised. The only negative I think would be all of the beer bottles caps in the parking lot.
