Pros:

It was close to Liberia.
The owner was very personable. There was no coffee in the rooms, but when I asked about coffee he had his wife make us a coffee and it was fantastic. The staff was very friendly.

Cons:

The room didn't appear to have been swept. There were dead bugs on the floor. Lots of dead bugs in the bathroom and shower. There were no face cloths. Towels had stains on them

Aceptable
Pros:

Limpio.
Tranquilo

Cons:

1. Doble cobro. 60 dólares y luego 20 dólares adicionales. Me pareció extraño. 80 dólares me pareció excesivo.
2. Mensaje amenazador de o salen a las 11:30 o les hago el cobro completo del día siguiente. Innecesario. Tomando en cuenta que íbamos para el GFG debían ser más flexibles.
3. No funciona Wifii

Not close to amenities. Host helped with getting dinner, and coffee in the morning. Right by the highway, but the road noise didn't stop us from having a great sleep.
