5. ;) Instead, we just cut our losses and got out - it was just far too uncomfortable with the dinginess, old, old blankets and sheets and carpet, bad smell and insecure locks to contemplate getting a good night's sleep.

9. The rooms were decent in size (2 double beds), the a/c was ok, TV in working condition, pool was out of service 'indefinitely' and the restaurant below was pretty good - Asian food and they were open pretty late.
