It looked closed with no office. Expedia had to call to find owner to let me in. 3rd rate place everything cheapest quality possible. Ad misrepresents the place and if you complain owner says you can leave if you don’t like it. Worst place I ever stayed

Ankom til stedet. Da der endelig blev lukket op stod der en meget ubehagelig lugt lige ud i hovedet på os som tegn på meget fugt. Bestemt ikke et sted vi havde spor lyst til at overnatte.
