The property was poorly maintained! Continental Breakfast was very bare minimum. Old boiled eggs sausage links dry hash browns and warm beans. Minimal cereal station with toast and coffee. There was tea selection available but you have to ask for hot water that was only from the tap! Definitely wouldn’t recommend!

Had decent wifi, but no hot water. I informed staff the hot water was not working, and they said maintinance would fix it, but nothing was done. Included breakfast is supposedly served until 9am, but I went to the lobby at 9:02am and there was no evidence food had ever been served there. I'm lucky Wal Mart was 1.2km away so I at least I had canned food to eat while I waited 2 days for the only bus out of town.

Very Disappointed – Not Worth the Price The cost was outrageous for the rundown condition of the room we received. The roof was leaking in the lobby, and there was extra room furniture being stored in common areas, which gave the place a very unprofessional feel. Our bathroom was in poor shape—the bathtub shower curtain was barely hanging on, and it looked unfinished overall. It also took about 30 minutes of running water just to get a warm shower. When I asked the front desk, they simply said, “Yes, it needs to run for a bit before it gets hot.” That’s unacceptable for any hotel, especially at this price point. I've stayed at hotels for a fraction of the cost and had a much better experience. Would not recommend.
