    This hotel exists in another dimension - no one stays here. In some ways this seems like a normal,…read morerun-down, older motel that would be cheap, but once you get into it, you realize it is not what it seems. We ended up here when I mistakenly booked another place for the wrong night, and when we got there at 9 pm, it was full. A Saturday night during the summer holidays is not when you want to find an open place, so thankfully the other hotel called and told us this place had a vacancy and the price was not awful. First warning sign: Their road sign does not light up. Second warning sign: the dismal lobby. But beggars can't be choosers, so we took the room. The hallway was... strange looking, but ok. The room was fine, new flooring, with a kitchenette, including full fridge and admittedly 1970's old electric stove. The bathroom was anther matter: stains on the floor and tub. But the worst was the sink. My wife used it and the water was draining really slow. Then during the night we heard burbling, and air was bubbling out of the sink! I wanted to call the front desk, but the only phone in the room didn't have a dial tone! I went to the front desk, but it was closed with a security gate, and if you went outside you would get locked out (the sign said use your room key, but they did not have a electronic key reader outside)! The next morning the sink was full of grey water. My wife went down and asked for a plunger or Drano, and the clerk said "I don't think that will help in this case", so clearly they know the place has plumbing problems. She ended up getting a key to another room to use the shower, and sure enough, the drain was slow on that one too, so she ended up standing in water. This room was like the first, but only has a mini-fridge. On the plus side, the walls are concrete block, so no noise from the non-neighbors, and the view of the marina is nice. With some decent fixing up, this place could be nice. So I begin to wonder, how does this place stay in business when no one is here. It turns out the first floor is rented out to a business that offers English classes with a "campus" for foreign students.
