Christopher

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is in terrible shape. It is in desperate need of repair and refurbishing. The sheets on the bed were smelly and we wondered if that had even been washed. My wife was itching all night and woke up with multiple bug bites. The pillows appeared very old and did not even have proper pillow cases on them. The fridge made a loud humming noise. I finally had to unplug it. The bars of soap are the size of a quarter, literally. And the toilet paper was 1-ply. We woke up early and got out of there as early as possible. There were also some very sketchy people staying on the floor below. We would never stay there again.
