No Thank You - Avoid

The overall condition and cleanliness of this location are horrible. Smells musty, was not very clean, and overall, the location needs to be renovated.

The night staff was kind but they charge an extra tax on top of what I was expected to pay which was weird. The pool didn’t feel clean and there was a smell in the hotel.
