Everyone warned us about the neighbourhood/location of the hotel. We were apprehensive at the beginning, after reading the reviews of the hotel and hearing the stories.

Covered in bites, am heading to the doctor now! Please never go here! I brought my bags back and washed and dried everything but I am afraid I could have brought some bugs with me!
