YYAOMINGThe front desk is Indian, but it may be Latin American, they still can't get out. The attitude at the front desk is still good. The motel is relatively small with only a total of more than 20 rooms. The room is small, but the bath is hot enough. However, the quilt on the bed was covered with a blanket directly, which made people feel uncomfortable because they didn't know how to dry. We don't like the fancy quilt, it's still white, and at least we can't see it clean. There are many places to eat when the hotel goes out for about 800 meters. It doesn't matter if you don't have breakfast. The location of the hotel is still good.
