Even $20/night is not worth of it. They put us in a room right opposite to the toilet and shower room. Three of us didn't get any sleep whole night because ppl used the toilet and shower room at different time. The sound of the door shut and open and the automatic light in the corridor kept us awake whole night. It is unethical to even sell the room if they know nobody can actually sleep in that room! A hotel selling such room is money hungery!

This is the worst accomodation I've ever seen in my life! If I could I'd give it a zero. They are cheating with public on their website and when you see the accomodation up close the facilities are not even there. Their customer service is the WORST! DO NOT GO THERE!!! THEY JUST WANT UR MONEY!!!

Have tried several Spell Casters. And they all failed. Not until I came across a post of Dr Amala. And I texted him up. Now I’m glad to say Dr Amala is a great and powerful doctor indeed.

Randomly found this place after walking off the main street. Glad I did - the place was fairly quiet for a Saturday but they had a guy playing awesome live music. Bar staff were efficient and accomodating, including asking what you wanted to see on the TV. Good selection of beers on tap and the place was friendly. Great way to spend an evening. Would review these guys on Tripadvisor but can't find a listing.
