Do not stay!

Very rundown property. Not well maintained. Walls were stained and disgusting. Everything made noise - lights, fridge, beds. Didn't dare eat breakfast for fear of food poisoning. So much space under room door that light streamed in nonstop: Upon check in when I asked how the worker’s day was he, said “same sh*t, different day”. Not professional at all. Will never ever stay here again.

The pictures must have been edited because this place was nothing shown on the site. The pool was locked and the front desk cleark didnt have a key to open it. We checked in and went to the roon and the beds were worn down, and the room was outdated. We asked to get our money back because we were going to stay somewhere else only to be told that they dont have a refund policy.

We did not stay at this property. We found that one of the rooms we had booked had bed bugs in it and they acted like it wasn’t a big deal. We were refunded our money, however others that were there and were aware our room had bed bugs were not refunded money when they requested to leave.
