Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a bad experience in this hotel, and i won't be trusting expedia again with my hotel choices. I originally booked the room with a sea view, when the staff saw that my booking was through expedia, they gave me a city view room for disabled people. The view from the room was horrible, and the whole experience was completely different than what I anticipated, and when i tried to ask for change, they offered the room i had originally asked for with an extra 35 euros per night. Very disappointing experience, hotel is very overrated, and customer experience was a fail.

Bad Memory
I booked a room for myself &my sister, I couldn’t make it because my husband was hospitalised , when my sister went to the room she found it very dirty , dirty bathroom & toilet , the bed was the worst , dirty sheets withe Little insects crawling on the BED, also the room was smelly too, smell of cigarettes and damp, it was like the windows were not opened for a long time. She rang me and explain, I got so upset and ask her to go to the reception & explain the room’s situation , any way there was nobody to help , my sister asked them please come & see the room, the lady at the reception said I’m on my own and can not leave , after a while they gave her a room, She stayed 3 days on that room . After 3 days they asked her to pay $40.00 for each day she spend on that room, they took $120.00 from her, My sister was my guest, I didn’t want her to pay anything , I want you to get a refund and get my sister’s money from them, They were very unfair toward my sister.
