Place was not as advertised at all. The pictures look nice but when you get there the place is run down and my room had a strong musty smell. The shower head didn’t even have anywhere to hang it and just sits waste level. I spend about 5 minutes in the room before deciding I would definitely not stay here. I tried to ask for a refund at the desk and they refused and Expedia would not get me a refund either so I was charged for 3 nights and didn’t stay for any of them. Be careful booking stays through this app this place somehow had an 8/10 and it was a dump. Didn’t stay here, wouldn’t again and not sure if I’ll book stays through Expedia again either.
