Rooms were clean and beds were comfy

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would, because? I really don’t prefer to spend my hard-earned money on a place that is rampant with out and out drug use, child labor, and an owner/manager that apparently thinks paying customers can be subjected to his screams and intimidation. I booked for two days and had to extend for a third because I had a package being delivered. The wife of the owner was fine enough, but her husband (or cousin, WHOEVER he was) came up to me and claimed that I cursed out his son, which was a lie. He also claimed that he had video/audio to prove the accusation, so I asked him to review it as I waited and if that was the case I would apologise. But, instead of checking the alleged proof he had, he threatened to keep my passport, keep the money that I paid for the third night, AND tried to make me leave immediately. Now, there was no way for me to explain anything because he screamed and shouted over me in front of about half a dozen paying guests and I was more than happy to go. But, once he threatened to keep my passport, I tried to call the police and alert them to his demeanour and actions. No only did he threaten to keep my passport, but he said he was going to throw my delivery away. Plus, he asked me repeatedly whether or not I had turned in my key card, even though I had told him that SEVERAL times as he was shouting over me. I immediately moved to another place to stay for the next two days, and I would advise anyone that considers this place to choose another place. I don’t spend my hard-earned money to be surrounded by outright drug use, drug users, and homeless people milling in and around the building at all times of the night. I have already alerted every tourist board and council in the country about this place, and it is no coincidence that it has a reputation that is FAR less than stellar. The owner is a crook, he was out of line, and doesn’t know the meaning of customer service.

Everything.
