Don’t have high expectations here it’s just a place to crash, area is very dark at night but never felt insecured, staff is obviously not trained for costumer service but they do their job room is clean but very outdated, the shower was rusty

Positive—lady at desk helpful and friendly.
Needs improvement—no Wi-Fi. Tv very limited. Not enough towels, cups, supplies. No ice. Bathroom door didn’t shut all the way
It was a bed and nothing more
Had to pay for ice and didn’t have a fridge in the room nor a safe box it was a mistake staying there never again and won’t recommend it to no one

Solace after storm
Simple and quiet. Staff was helpful in finding local places to eat. Relaxed by the pool with wild parrots and magpies singing nearby. An lone outpost surrounded by a hurricane destroyed waterpark. Locals play pickleball and volleyball there, so it has its own noncommercial community life. Truly restful and quiet.
They didn’t have hot water in the hotel for showering so we had to shower with cold water and they did not lowed the rate for the inconvenience, I asked for a manager and never talked to them the employee only offered a compliment breakfast or two drinks, lots of insects inside the room, the room smelled like humidity and everything was old, also, the sink was plugged, we couldn’t even brush our teeth in peace.
When I arrived i was not comfortable the area was under construction

There was a larger than usual presence of stray dogs. The facility looked a bit rundown, like it promoted itself online with pictures from 10 years ago.
Completely dirty a lot of street dogs ,mosquitos and the room smells bad like humidity.Bad quality of bedding,not enough towels.And In top of that I get sick in there .False advertisement with the pictures .
Do not stay here under any circumstances.
No wi fi. No hot water. Beds are rock hard. Air con unit is so loud it made me jump every time it turned on. Stains all over bathroom. This place has clearly not had a cent invested in it in decades. Sleeping under a bridge is preferable to this place.
