Rodent poop and cockroaches on beds and floors. Changed rooms quickly. Pool unkept- dirty and no chlorine- dogs drinking from it. Shared kitchen not clean. Access from hwy is very difficult and unsafe. Host is very kind and we loved his dogs.

We were greeted by the property owner carrying an umbrella to our car because of a torrential downpour. He walked us to the room, showed us how to work all the amenities, and then took us to the community kitchen to show us around there. The owner/manager is very friendly and helpful and made us feel completely at ease. His efforts felt super helpful after a long night and nearly full day of travel. 10/10 would easily stay again.

Very helpful owner / manager and helped with transportation and dining recommendations. Right off the main road so a bit noisy from traffic, but also felt safe out of town. Bit of a drive to get downtown, but easy with Uber and inexpensive. Room was minimal but clean and had air conditioning.

Thank you Dwight for your hospitality. It’s a perfect place and I will highly recommend this location to my corporate colleagues. As for guest if you need a place to stay quite and close tot the airport not in the unsafe city center this is the place 👍

Isolated, budget hotel

Good for the price, and there is usually someone around. They are friendly and try to be helpful. However, there is no coffee, no other services nearby, 3 kms to Liberia for food. There is a pool and nice landscaping. Best for a transition stop between other places, right by the highway.

It was very impersonal the owner and the staff were always available to help in any way they could. The place was clean and well maintained. I would stay there again if it was geographically suitable.

Just stayed one night before catching a flight. The owner took us downtown to do some last minute shopping and drop us off at a pub so we could meet up with friends. We bought him a drink. He didn’t charge anything for the ride. The next morning he arranged our ride to the airport. The WiFi was a little weak but the rest of the service and amenities were fantastic.

Loved the variety of fruit trees and flowers. The owners were super welcoming. Did not like that we had to drive out of town and make a U-turn and double back to get to the hotel. One of the few hotels that allowed our dog.
