Disliked: Amenities
While there is nothing *wrong* with this property it is extremely basic, and the rooms are so tiny ya have to shimmy around the side of the bed. Its the most affordable stay, but if there's any place else available for only a little more, I'd stay there instead. A stay here is *fine*, but it will come with a side eye from your spouse.
