There was salt deposits and greenish deposits on the shower head which wasn't appealing. We informed the front desk and the guy came to check but said nothing could be done. Also when we asked for basic amenities like toothpaste, they said its not present at the moment and they had expired. Not something that is expected of a hotel/ lodge who should have these basic amenities and should deep clean the facility regularly.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and spacious but smelled like bleach and didn’t make the room feel inviting. Room was bare and felt cheap - no nightstands except metal hanging shelves and one metal chair with a small half table. No cot or shelf for luggage and no closet. Small burned holes in sheets on bed and mattress wasn’t very sturdy and was very loud getting on and off. Bathroom was spacious and clean but again felt cheap. Outside of hotel was dirty and didnt feel safe.
