Room was dirty. Toilet did work. Windows didn’t close. A lot of flies and fleas. Could hear all my neighbors. Didn’t feel safe leaving my belongings in the room. Checked out a day early to sleep in my car (thankfully did not have to do that).

The heater in the room wasn't working, but we didn't go to the office to say anything because it was late at night. If it happens to you, the owner said to come any time of day because they have spare ones.

Good budget friendly stay

We booked last minute and it was a good, budget friendly stay. Easy check in, spacious and good facilities. The decor could do with an update, but for the price we had no complaints.
