I booked this hotel due an emergency. This is an scam, pictures are misleading and is expensive for what they offered. No hot water, dirty towels, a bathroom with roaches and an uncomfortable bed. At the reception they were unfriendly and doubtful about the booking.

This property is not worth booking. Expedia states that you can pay online to reserve it. Once you get to the Hotel (if you can call it that), the staff tells you that they do not take payments from Expedia and that you MUST pay in cash. It is an inconvenience. Staff DID NOT know what to do. They are liers and very UNFRIENDLY, I would not recommend ever.

The property is pretty rundown. The pools are not clean. The room I was first offered smelt like dusk and properly had not been cleaned in a while. The next room I was offered I saw what looked to be a bed bug sheddings. I left and went to another location I need a refund.
