Truly the most awful hotel experience. From the terrible night crew desk person, dungeon style grate in the room floor, mosquito infested, no soap and poorly maintained bathroom with a hole in the screen, humid warm room and lastly the soiled, bug remains and bodily hair left on the sheets from the previous guest- we left running! Did I mention the swampy murky looking pool that you should never use? Why is this place so awful ?

Jacob

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location is great, but this hotel needs some re-investment. Nowhere to unpack except a very old, dusty, and musty-smelling cabinet. TV too large for the table it sits on, so it leans weirdly against the wall. Terrible shower water pressure and often no hot water. Very harsh lighting. Somewhat standoffish staff who were not always available. No parking, despite what the Expedia listing said. Double bed instead of the Queen we booked. There were other hotels on the block that I found myself wishing I had booked for a little more money instead.

The shower is cold, the breakfast is poor and the room is noisy. Everything else is just adequate. All little things. The toilet paper holder is upside down. The roll falls off. Don't touch the desk, it will fall apart. No trim around the door. Peeling wall paper. Mismatched furniture. There's no attention to details. What are the things like that you can't see. I'm in my regular hotel now. It was full. I know why Hotel Dona Elvira had available rooms. Only use as a last resort.
