This is my first negative review, but it's well deserved. The place is rundown, a broken refrigerator and dirty carpets. On top of the $155 price for a room, there are hidden fees like a $100 deposit, a cleaning fee, and a $10 debit card charge. The lack of transparency is deceptive, and the owner clearly doesn't care about the guest experience. I feel bad for the staff. This place deserves a much lower rating.

Unbeatable location but the obvious downside is that is noisy, so be prepared! Private rooms are clean but very basic. Have stayed a few times now but getting increasingly pricey so not sure will be able to stay again!

Staff where really kind and provided a nice bbq for 4th July . I wish I read more of the reviews on the extra hidden costs! I paid $12 extra hidden costs but it was about to be even more if I paid by card and also for breakfast which I didn’t ask for
