Stairs for upper floors. Doors everywhere. Mattress needs replacement. Balcony door didn't open. I thought it was expensive given the age of the building. But it seems like most of these older places still command high prices

This place is a dump. Don't stay there. It's nothing like what they make it out to be. The room was run-down. It was dirty for the exception ofvthebtoilet. The bed head fell on my head. The management just laughed at me. Three pool is dirty, looks scary. The reception lady was nice. Definitely NOT value for money. VERY MISLEADING IN ADVERTISING.

We booked a room with a balcony, which we didn't get we got a room with no balcony all we got was a little area outside of the room, that was right next to the owners with a door in between who were very loud, we asked why and they just said they didn't have any other rooms move us. Very poor to say the least.
