The room was very sparse, nowhere to put your suitcase but on the floor. No chair to sit on except two high chairs by the table. No hangers or hooks for clothes. It was cheep.

We never stayed
We never stayed.
We canceled and yet they still sent us ‘automated’ emails and notifications.
They never responded to any of my emails.
The fact I’m getting this email / survey shows I believe shows how much they will care for their gusts.
(In order to submit this I have to assign a star rating…but again we canceled the reservation)
