I booked a room for four adults and paid a significantly higher price. I was disappointed to find that all they did was cram an additional bed into a small room, leaving barely enough space to move around. Given the extra cost, I expected more space and comfort, but unfortunately, that was not the case. I don’t mind paying extra for enhanced quality, but I didn't receive that during my stay. On a positive note, I must admit the location is great

The place is undergoing renovation, not dirty but still need improvements. The room was spacious as it was the restroom. The food was great, no complaints, the service was excellent in every-way, the staff was very eager to assist in every-way possible. I would recommend this place and will return for sure, maybe next time they are complete with the renovations. Cheers..
