Only one working toilet and shower for the whole place, diarrhea splashed on the toilet wall beside the toilet.
Bed itchy.
Three people to two beds in a bunk formation.
No quiet to sleep, one room mate kept me awake with her loud obnoxious talking into well past 1:45am.
Nothing to do on site.
I had to leave after 2 nights out of the paid 4 which they insisted be paid in advance and then did not provide a receipt for paying nor a refund for having to leave.
Worst experience I have ever had.
Don't be sucked in.
