Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked the hotel expecting good air conditioning, multiple beds, a proper kitchen as all of this was shown in the pictures of the hotel. But when we arrived there was only one bed, a small air conditioner that did not cool the room, no kitchen just a microwave and an overall small room. We asked the staff what they could do about the air conditioning and they said they could not do anything but told just to open the windows.

Mark

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Exorbitantly overpriced and tiny

Room was clean. Bathroom beyond tiny. Property fee was ridiculously expernsive - $219 for three nights on top of $172.10 for the room per night. Definitely in no way worth $245.10 per night in the peak of offseason. Read the fine print
