I could tell a lot of renovations had taken place, which I greatly appreciated because it's generally an older building. Everything felt safe, clean, and functional. Will be staying here again in the future.

The property is in pretty poor shape. Our room’s cabinet under the sink had its doors falling off, the room had items removed from the walls over the years without being repainted, and the walls hadn’t been painted in years! The floors weren’t particularly clean, but the sink, tub, and bed was clean.

Trinidad budget host scam artists

They tried to charge me 30 extra dollars upon checking in because I have an emotional support dog. I felt scammed. I did not stay. The hotel is not the same name as the hotel IThey tried to charge me 30 extra dollars upon checking in because I have an emotional support dog. I felt scammed. I did not stay. The hotel is not the same name as the hotel I booked. It was difficult to find because it wasn’t the correct name. I ended up driving an extra four hours to get home completely exhausted. I’m lucky I didn’t kill myself driving or have an accident and kill somebody else. What a horrific experience!
