The reception area had a weird smell. The bedroom carpets were disgusting with stains that looked like blood on them. The staff was friendly but didn't ask about our stay or seemed bothered when checking out. Overall they need a big look at their rooms cleanliness.

The hotel had no parking and was extremely dirty. The room was filthy, the toilet wasn’t working, there was hair on the beds, the carpet was very dirty, and there was even a pin on the floor that injured my daughter’s foot. They charged extra for a larger room and for a sea view, but gave us a room with a blocked window where nothing could be seen. When we complained, they refunded our money. This was the worst hotel I’ve ever seen—charging 5-star prices with no service. Even if it were free, we would never return.
