The name on Expedia is different than the actual name. Caused problems with the taxi driver. Expedia it is listed as Happy Classic Lodge in reality it is Happy Land Lodge.

O pessoal foi muito atencioso comigo, o único problema é a música num bar na frente, se a pessoa tem sono leve o som pode incomodar.
