I have a feeling the extra dollar on top is as a result of agent fee, right? I could be wrong though.

You know most times things happen that set us right back to our senses. Example, the increase in the price of your former lodge even when the living conditions isn't improved. This reminds me of my country, Nigeria 😂😂😂... No offense.

I am glad you took matters into your hands and you were rewarded with better options. Congratulations.
