The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. The website said breakfast was included however they had cancelled the breakfast service after we had registered. We were informed in the morning as we tried to enter breakfast room. The person at the front desk informed us and other guests with as much patience as she could. Bad management as they were not there to handle the situation.

The location and comfort was fine. However, the place needed a clean-up in general. Mold in a few places, pool down for remodeling and we weren't informed. Breakfast was ok, plus an interior garden to walk and enjoy.

Pool is closed, breakfast bar was hardly edible. And the room looked nothing like its picture. Was very dark and gloomy. My kitchenette consisted of a kureg on top of a microwave on top of a mini fridge. The electrical outlet by the bed had an electrical adapter on it, and the outlet itself wasnt even attached to the wall. I think the person before me spilt something on the floor cause there was a wet spot. The hotel needs a complete renovation is the best I can say.and sound dampening. I heard every noise my neighbors made. The staff were the 1 good part of this stay. They were very friendly.

I would not recommend staying here. The room we were given was dirty and clearly not cleaned properly before our arrival. The sink would back flow overtime you ran the water. We had to brush our teeth with a water bottle. To make matters worse, there was obvious drug dealing and shady activity going on outside at night, which made us feel unsafe. People were leaving the back door of the hotel propped open. We had the room at the very end next to the door as could here all this activity go on ALL NIGHT LONG. We ended up leaving the room at 1am and driving to a safe place to sleep in our car. The pool was also closed and under construction—a major amenity we expected to use and that was never disclosed at booking. Check-in was also unpleasant; the staff seemed disorganized. Overall, a very disappointing experience and not worth the money.
