The staff were extremely helpful in checking in and helping with luggage but unfortunately the property needs work done to it for its upkeep to be satisfactory. The walls were also quite thin as we could hear the gentleman next door coughing regularly - not an issue but we had to be very mindful of sound.

Their phone doesn’t work. We couldn’t communicate with them before arrival because we were arriving internationally. They have a working phone number written on the main door only after you arrive at the property. We also emailed them but no response. We reserved the hotel with parking but were forced to park on the street that required to move the car by 8am.
