The location was really good, with cafes, a pharmacy, and a convenience store nearby. But while the place looks good in the pictures and from outside, the heater was broken, there was a cockroach in our room, and the pail and dipper looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in two years. It wasn’t good value.

It was too expensive, and there was vehicle noise from outside. The room smelled like cockroaches, and the water didn’t smell good either. We couldn’t turn on the TV because there was no plug in. Get there early if you need to park, since spaces are first come, first served.

The room was roomy for the price, with comfortable blankets, plenty of closet space, and lots of outlets for gadgets. The air conditioner worked perfectly, and both the water pressure and heater were good. The place was surprisingly clean, cozy, affordable, and easy to get to, and the staff were friendly and helpful. There are only 3 car parking spaces. I’d definitely recommend it to travelers.

After an 8 hour drive from CDO, I got in at 10PM, and the front desk staff was helpful enough. I went straight to bed, then woke up appalled by what I found: no toilet seat, a shower head that sprayed everywhere except where you wanted it, thick soap residue in the dish, and some drawers with broken doors. I also had bite marks on my arms.
