It states that there is onsite parking. This maybe the case for a very small car or scooter, but not a Toyota truck. We didn’t like having to park off site.

Very noisy at night, the windows are not soundproof at all. You can hear people talking from outside, dogs barking non-stop, even the roosters at 4 in the morning are loud enough to wake you up. The building also looks poorly maintained, the walls are scratched and stained, some of the bedsheets looked unclean, and we even found a very large spider on one of the beds when we first checked in. Otherwise, the breakfast service was nice and the workers were well-accomodating.
