The courtyard was amazing. The plants and ambience the other guest, we ordered food sat out there. It was just amazing.
We had a very pleasant experience with our staff, the room was really nice, and they had a good heater there for our January visit. We loved Teesha and the other staff!
There were holes in the walls, pillow cases had fresh stains. The shower was absolutely filthy. When you walked on the floor the bottom of your feet were black. The pictures will catfish you !!
