We didn’t even stay in the end of the day in the hotel. I had read the reviews on the app. It was all a lie. We had booked a 4 room for 12 people and for a family vacation. I can tell you this I was not prepared for this place

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We didn't stay for the breakfast, we left immediately. The first room they sent us to was full of power tools and there was no bed. The second room they sent us to was missing the window and covered in an inch of water. The third room they sent us to was covered in some random persons belongings and there was another person in there. The entire hotel looks nothing like the add and there was a large amount of prostitution going on there as well. We immediately felt unsafe from the moment we parked there, to the moment we left. I have contested the charge with my bank because we did not get what we paid for.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to stay because I was not feeling safe due to enclosed space and there was no window to allow air into the room. I was feeling claustrophobic. Lots of potential and needs improvements. It was also very noisy due to motorists. This place is not ideal for people who don’t like noise. Staff were all very helpful and friendly.

We checked out after the first night and hsve a dispute on credit card active. This was a horrendously bad experience, like being in a third world country. This hotel should not be advertised on your site. It was dilapidated, dark, dirty and very noisy. I took pictures of the black mold, broken porcelain toilet, damaged counters abd lack of amenities
