Verified traveller

Disliked: Communication

10 hour stay was worth the money.

Upon arrival, nobody at front desk, had to call a phone number for key. 9pm Upon entry to the room, zero toilet paper, tissue, etc. Had to call again. A bonus was a great A/C that kept the room comfortable the whole night. The shower was not appealing so we choose not to shower in the morning and go straight to river rafting. Location was great and price for 10 hours was just right.
