Good food. Friendly staff and a 24/7 guard at the main entrance. If you looking for something very simple and cheap, a bed, bathroom and a shower. This is the place for you. The only bad part I can think of, It is located directly next to a very busy road. So you always ear those motorcycles and vehicles passing 24/7
