What recent reviews say
Reviews split sharply: half give five stars, praising space and the owner's friendliness, while a quarter rate it one or two stars citing bedbugs, electrical shocks, poor water flow, and relentless traffic noise from the roadside location. Recent reviews are generally positive, but older accounts describe serious safety and cleanliness issues.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
Recent shift: Sentiment has improved: older reviews (7 years ago) detailed bedbugs, electrical hazards, and owner defensiveness; more recent reviews (3-4 years ago) praise space, food quality, and location with fewer safety complaints, though WiFi issues persist.
