Blood on entry and elevator floors that took days to clean up, extremely noisy occupants late into the night with no help from staff to quite down (several people complained) food on the walls in kitchen and by dining table, severely leaking ceiling (had to move rooms/floors) no compensation for the inconvenience this used to be a really nice hotel I’ve stayed in the past it’s sad to see it’s in need of upkeep

La propiedad necesitaba más mantenimiento. Las habitaciones estaban sucias y con polvo. Alrededor del lugar no hay muchas cosas, está apartado del centro del pueblo. El transporte al aeropuerto no funcionó cuando nos íbamos a ir porque decían que era demasiado temprano el vuelo y no nos podían llevar. El desayuno estaba variado.

Clean room. I liked that it had a kitchen even though I didn't use it. The bed was comfortable. Quiet, I never heard any noise in the hallways or next door. I really liked my stay at this hotel. I would have rated "excellent" if it wasn't for the continental breakfast. There was no fruit and no apple or orange juice. One day there was no coffee, but I went to the receptionist, and she came and made some. Beside this, I had a great stay!
