Pictures are not what they seem bathroom was dirty, no television no ac or heat. The minute you enter the hotel it’s smells like smoke even if you choose nonsmoking the rooms have a smoke smell, the second night you can hear people shouting shutting doors. This is not a hotel I would recommend for family’s couples or anyone in general. The area even though there are shops nearby and touristy the hotel is horrible.

The first room no heat, could not see out of the window. I asked to move to a different room. Was able to get a different room the next day. The room was great until I used the toilet. The toilet had flushing issues . I had to take the cover off and manually make the toilet add more water to flush out the toilet of number 2. At first it did not flush good it would back up. Had to increase the water flow into the tank prior to flushing so the flushing would complete the draining cycle. Over all it was a good clean room . I was happy

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to stay because I was not feeling safe due to enclosed space and there was no window to allow air into the room. I was feeling claustrophobic. Lots of potential and needs improvements. It was also very noisy due to motorists. This place is not ideal for people who don’t like noise. Staff were all very helpful and friendly.

We checked out after the first night and hsve a dispute on credit card active. This was a horrendously bad experience, like being in a third world country. This hotel should not be advertised on your site. It was dilapidated, dark, dirty and very noisy. I took pictures of the black mold, broken porcelain toilet, damaged counters abd lack of amenities
