The AC was barely functioning and a part in the bathroom wall was rotted away. For 60 dollars a night, I'd say that it was decent but it could definitely be better.

CLEAN, intact room altho Housekeeping staff does not speak English & their children are in tow while they are working. This made me feel very uncomfortable. Why aren't they in school? (Are they illegal?) Also no coffee machines in room. This is a 1st!
