Best way to crash before a flight

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 👍

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
