Rooms are in very rough shape, and quite dirty. I was without water and had to move rooms. A random man barged into my room without knocking, he was startled and informed me " you no have water". I was not move rooms until late the next day.

Cleanliness should mot be reserved for luxury accommodations. Poorly constructed building and you can hear everything so peaceful sleep is not possible. After i locked myself out of my room is impossible to locate the owner. Waiting now for over 1 hr. I will update what the final wait was. I have commitments that i will.miss now as i can NOT retrieve my things from my room This place is a JOKE!

You get what you pay for

When I checked in the gentleman was friendly. The room was clean. There was supposed to be breakfast available at 6:00 am until 10:00am, there was expired yogurts in the fridge and there was only muffins available at about 8:30. There was no one available when it was time to check out so I left my key on the front desk.
