Property in desperate need of upgrading. Walls are paper thin we can hear whatever everyone else was doing. Random opening where the toilet was into the main bedroom so you could hear what everyone was doing on the toilet. Furniture dated and marked. carpet, kettle and chairs had paint splatters Had to ring for service at check-in and check out. Breakfast was okay, although the beverages was not really at hotel standard and was tepid. Overall, bedding clean and comfy, staff friendly hard to see how this is a 4 star resort.
