This hotel was an absolute disappointment. Nothing seemed to work, and the breakfast was terrible, prepared by the owner's relatives, which felt like a joke. I couldn't get even a bottle of drinking water in my room, and there was no backup generator. The overall experience left a lot to be desired, making it feel like a place where hope goes to die.

My stay at this hotel was a complete letdown. The breakfast was subpar, clearly prepared by someone who wasn’t a chef, and it felt like the owners were running a mini newspaper service to interrupt what little enjoyment there was. The lack of functional amenities, like a working TV and the absence of even a bottle of water in the room, made this experience worse. It felt like a bad joke, and while I appreciate humor, this was just a dump overall.

My stay was pretty disappointing. The hotel was in bad shape, with many things not working and a terrible breakfast. The lack of basic amenities and upkeep made the experience frustrating. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're okay with a low standard of living.

My stay was far from enjoyable. The breakfast was terrible, and it felt like the owners had family members making the food, which made it very unappetizing. There was no backup generator, and the TV didn’t work, nor was there a single bottle of drinking water in the room. Honestly, it felt like everything that could go wrong did, and it just made for a miserable experience overall.

My stay at this hotel was quite a disappointment. The rooms left much to be desired, and I was shocked at the lack of basic amenities like drinking water. The breakfast was absolutely terrible, it felt more like a chore than a meal. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you're ready to lower your expectations.
