Mixed Experience at Budget Lodging

dusty room non-adjustable shower

The host was gracious and helpful .

The room itself felt quite dated. I noticed dust and a dead rose, an odd decoration. The bathroom was small, its shower not height adjustable and without a curtain. The television wasn't working upon arrival, but I was able to repair it myself.
