I mean... For a place I booked less than 24 hours in advance it worked for my scenario. However the room was very old, the door handle of the bathroom was loose the taps in the bathroom were reversed between cold and hot the balcony door would not stay open to allow breeze in and one of the restaurants in the hotel was closed the entire time I was there. The walls were also super thin I could hear my neighbors children playing and screaming and laughing. They were some outdoor areas to sit but they need an update for sure they are falling apart and cracking. There are three pools but one of them was closed the entire time I was there. The only place to get ice is the one restaurant area and they only allow you to fill a small bucket at a time there's no large ice machines or options to buy bags of ice. They come and check everyday to see if you need towels and toilet paper however there's no sign on the door you can put to say "do not disturb" and someone woke me up in the middle of a nap just to deliver toilet paper and towels that I did not need on my second day there.

The view was great ( from the hotel window) no balcony without opening the main door. Property is old and definitely needs some improvement. Staff could have not been better…. But it’s very dated and walls are very thin-so not much privacy. All I can say is, it was clean, staff was great, and service was good.

EVERYTIME WE WANTED TO GO TO THE RESTAURANT IT WAS CLOSED. DOG FRIENDLY WAS AN OVERSTATMENT. THERE WERE HUGE DOGS EVERYWHERE I CANT BELIEVE YOU CAN MAINTAIN A HOTEL WITH BIG DOGS. I LOVE ANIMALS, BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A WEIGHT LIMIT FOR PETS. POSSIBLY WHY THE ROOMS WERE SO DIRTY. ALSO NO INTERNET OR CABLE SO YOU CANT USE THE TINY TV IN THE ROOM. CERTAINLY CANT SEE IT FROM THE BED. ASKED FOR MORE TOWELS AND PILLOWS AND NEVER GOT THEM.
