Really thin walls, and my floor had a bunch of very loud people chatting and slamming doors until nearly midnight. Loud air conditioner too. Pool was out of commission. Gym was in a lousy state. The pool and gym were why we chose it. It was clean; staff was friendly, breakfast was good, and good location.

Our room did not seem to be cleaned after the last booking. We came in to find a cup under the bed, dirty wash-cloths in the shower, and a bunch of trash under the pull out bench, toothpaste residue in the sink and pinkish mildue buildup on the showerhead.

Mixed feelings

The stay was great. Loved the area. The place got robbed and other hotels around the area so it wasn’t a safe experience. The place was semi-clean. Pool also didn’t looked clean and wasn’t heated in an indoor setting. Breakfast was also not served one day.
