Disliked: Staff & service
The room was clean and comfortable. We got there for check in and the room wasn’t ready. We traveled on a motorcycle and it was hot (93 degrees) so we were ready to cool off for the evening. AC wasn’t on so the room had to cool down. We had to sit outside and wait for the room to be made up. Several doors down from us, one person left and had to go to town to buy toilet paper as the office was already locked up by 8 PM. Definitely will not be going back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not sure why anyone would rate this property as even decent. The room had popcorn on the floor that wasn’t mine, the toilet was leaking water, the shower faucet was super loose, and the blinds broke the second I touched them. I had a small interaction with the owner who was rude too. Don’t waste any money staying here.

Overall, I was very pleased to stay here. Two points that kept it at a 9/10 for me were the thin walls (but people were courteous) and the lack of USB plugs. Those should be standard these days.
