Friendly and helpful staff (2 brothers), hot water, and affordable. Felt somewhat secure but wasnt walkable (not near center either). Also feel it needs improvements, ie: its not so organized (keys missing, bookings are unknown), lots of mosquitos (good there are bed nets provided), better lighting, toilet paper, towel holders, hooks,working outlets, less smells, girl bathroom needs some renos.
