It is exactly what you think it is. Right at the edge of the border, food options around, close to the Customs and Immigration Office so it was very easy to get the paperwork needed. Don't expect anything fance. Room, bathroom, simple necessities. Great experience. Would definitely stay here again if needed.

Didn’t like the cleanliness of the bathroom, the tv was tiny. Bedspreads had stains on them. We did not stay, we left and checked into a better hotel.
