Overall I feel like the value of this stay was spot on:
Pros:
-Cheap
-Close to bus stops and Walmart and other convenience stores.
-Lots of nearby food for a short bus ride or walk.
-Comfortable bed. Private bathroom. Street noise is pretty significant though.
Cons:
-An hour bus ride to the heart of the city where “touristy” things are.
-One of the blankets smelled really funky and I could hardly stand to use it.
-I had a really weird situation with check in. The key busted as I turned the lock and I couldn’t get in the house. I called Suzanne right away and it was about 20 minutes before I could get her to answer. Then she said it would be 20-30 minutes more before she would be able to get there. It was dark and nighttime and as a female there alone, it was uncomfortable. It took like 45 minutes by the time I arrived to the time I was finally let in the house and my body (and food) were cold. No discount offered for the inconvenience or anything but I was given another key right away.
-Hot water lasted less than 7 minutes. If more than one person is staying in the room, showering back to back may not be comfortable.
