Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Great location. Bar and restaurant superb.
Would stay here again.
This property doesn’t deserve more than one star. It’s dirty, depressing and meets the minimum requirements. Do not stay here, keep searching before you book this almost 3rd world country lodging.
Old run down rooms, mold in shower and a broken power point, room was over priced for a one star room,meals well over priced for what we got, tables not cleaned and sticky, had to shower afterwards to get stickyness off my arms.
