Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is the most dysfunctional, run down hotel I've ever stayed at. Despite the claim, my room did not have an AC, nor a door key, had a constantly dripping shower head and a permanently wet bathroom floor. The hotel only accepts cash despite charging your credit card on line as well.

3 Star should read Hostel instead

3 star? Entry was thru a small security fence. Elderly host wore no mask. First room tv would not turn on. Second room had no key(host said not to worry because “I am always around. Mold on bathroom wall and dirty floors. Rusty dirty shelving One of the most disappointing stays I have had mostly because the 3 star gave an expectation of comfort
