There is a parking lot onsite and on the street beside the hotel. Staff were very friendly. The place is run down but it is clear attempts are being made to improve things. One thing was the pump for the water was loud so be wary if you need a drink or a pee cuz that pump is gonna let everyone know you are up!

The hotel was plain, nothing too exciting or remarkable, but the staff made it a pleasant stay and they were kind. The elderly gentleman who welcomed us made sure we got breakfast at 5am because we had to leave early for a flight.

This was pricey - over $300. The bed was horrible - you could feel every spring. The room almost certainly had mould. The shower only operated with very cold water. Overall, a big disappointment.

The property is convenient with bus stop right on the street, but it’s of poor quality without hot water and with very squeaky floors. However the owner is very friendly and the area looks quite safe.
