Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
In the first room that they put me in, the window could not close and there was no lock on it. Also, the air conditioner did not work with the temperature in the high twenties/loe thirties. On the second day, the moved me to a room where the shower did not work and the toilet seat was not bolted to the toilet. All in all, i would say it was backpacker accommodation at Holiday Inn prices. I have been traveling in Tanzania for 15 years, and have stayed in $5 and $10 rural hotels, so i am not a complainer, but this is probably the worst value for money that i have encounyered.
