The door kept getting locked due to the security hook. The first time it happened, I spoke with the owner, and he climbed through the window to unlock the door. The second time, I approached him again, but he became upset because I had locked the window when I left the room to get something to eat. When I returned, the door was locked once more. The owner was angry and started using rude language when I tried to talk to him. After struggling for 30 minutes to unhook the security device, they eventually had to cut it off. I will never stay here again! The towels in the room were unattractive and dirty, so we had to buy our own. Additionally, the air conditioning and heater made too much noise at night.
