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.

There was a pizza pop left in the freezer of my room. The roof dropped water by the one bed. They gave me dirty blankets the one day. Never brought extra towels. You couldn’t adjust the temperature of the room. It smelled like mould and there was mould in the bathtub/shower. They also would not refund me one night as I had to check out a day early even tho I was giving them over 24 hours notice. All in all would not recommend this place or ever stay there again. It should be closed for health concerns.
