We knew it would be a no-frills kind of place, but since when does no-frills mean that guests should contend with cockroaches, stained carpet, rusty bathroom fixtures, sagging beds, windows that don't properly shut, and incessant noise? On our 1st night, I could barely sleep because the paper-thin walls and poor windows allowed me to hear every movement of our neighbor, and at 5am the roosters outside started crowing.
