Location of property is good, but overall no value for Money, hotel looks very old and not kept well. No facilities for kids like playground, water sprts etc. No good restaurant at this property, breakfast was not worth at all. Overall I do not see value for Money staying here.

We did not enjoy this place at all. It was not clean, trash all over, dirty elevator, clogged sink in room. It was very outdated. I do not recommend staying here. We left after the first night and forfeited the 2nd night because we were so uncomfortable there.

Please do not book ! This property is very old and no efforts have been put in to maintain it. Everything is broken and dirty. Rooms stink so bad. There are cockroaches in bathroom and toilet back flushes. Upon arrival at 4pm, they checked us in but they said room is not yet ready so we canโ€™t give you the key yet as well as we canโ€™t even confirm when the room will be ready. We had our 3 years old with us but reception was not able to make any efforts to get us a room. Their check in time is 3pm and we are talking about this terrible service when we were already one hour past check in time. With this initial experience on service as well as very dated and stinky ambiance, we requested them to cancel our booking so we can go some place else. They refused to consider our request but said โ€œyou can go some place else but we will not be able to refund your moneyโ€. Please do not book with them as property is so dated that management has even given up on how much they can fix. So feedback doesnโ€™t bother them.
