joceline

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room had a paneled ceiling which had a huge gap in it so you could see up into the roof cavity with wiring and insulation coming through. Two of these pannels fell down into my room overnight. The roof cavity was large enough for someone to be up in so felt very unsafe. The TV was glitchy and the crome cast did not work, no body wash in the container. Filthy plug and outdated bathroom. I recieved a full refund but this is definitely not a 4 star hotel. I wouldnt even rate it a 2.

I would not stay here again. The walls needed to be repainted, they are covered with marks and are dirty. The room was very small. It looked very different than the hotel website. I gave it two stars because there was an outdoor heated pool that my son liked.
