Not the best stay…

The photographs on this website are highly misleading. Upon our arrival, check-in was uncomplicated, but an unpleasant odor immediately emanated from the entrance. Upon reaching our room, we discovered what appeared to be bloodstains on our bedding and a substantial red stain on the carpet. Our intention was to stay for five days, but we promptly departed the following day. While the staff exhibited friendliness and processed my refund, these were the only positive aspects of our stay.
