Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed broke 2 times within 8hrs of us checking in. We were not allowed to use the front common sitting area, has to share a dirty bathroom the mat was always wet, when someone else poop and you had to go in after...gross. everyone walks tru kitchen to get to backyard. The oriental guy...think the owner asked us to leave, instead of trying to help us. There is no chair in the room and you cant sit at the front because the oriental rude man was sleeping there. I think they rented us his room so he was sleeping in the chairs at the front. This is an awful place. We stayed in room 3.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room and the whole property is literally shiny clean. The room was spacious and there was many drawers and much closer space. I particularly liked the inclusion of a full mirror. Breakfast is from 8 to 10 which was late for going in some tours. When i mentioned that the hostess said that they would be happy to accommodate if asked. My biggest peeve was that they have many potted plants that are dying thru lack of watering.

A well kept property with a very friendly and accommodating host. I did not look carefully enough at the room details to see it had a shared bath. Only negative but my own fault.
