    Incredibly helpful staff. Ivan not only helped us book bus tickets, but also brought us to the bus stop and waited with us until it came, which was a couple of hours. We would have been lost without him.

    Food was decent with a good selection on the menu. I did have to send back my dinner though because the hamburger was served cold. The staff and owner are very friendly and most speak good English. Rooms are clean and nicely furnished.
