"The motel and staff were wonderful. The surrounding area is just like you see on news. There is dead cats, dogs and a lot of trash on the sidewalks. Children and adults begging for money. Can not walk feet without someone trying to sell you something. And no doesn't mean much to them. So if you are not ready to see the real world it's not for you. For me it opened my eyes 😟. But on other note all the guided tours are awesome."
