Took me back to the 1970’s when this place was probably built and not changed much. Self serve your key from an unlocked box on arrival. Oasis coloured light outside the front door comes through the blinds and lights up the room and stuffy room with no windows that can open so had to use A/C all night. We won’t be back.
