Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was beyond disappointing. The beds are broken down and the most uncomfortable I’ve slept in ever. The shower had a leak so heard dripping water all night. Mini fridge was leaking and got onto our luggage. Requested to check out after 1 night of a 2 night stay due to the poor condition of the room and was denied a refund even though I was told I would receive one. They offered me a new room but the experience was so bad I was unwilling to even look at what else they had to offer. Will never stay here again
