Thank you for the stay here at your hotel.
The stay was good. Good personality people. This hotel is something where I can recommend for people on lower budget. The manager is friendly. Thank you for letting me stay here.

No pool!
Pool is closed. Breakfast was a loaf of bread & jar of peanut butter or two choices of cereal. No microwave in room, no coffee pot in room. No real blanket, just a thin acrylic one.
Bring your own stuff!
