The rooms are poorly maintained. Was assigned room that was moldy and water took forever to warm up. The staff were very helpful but the rooms need some upgrade
It was cold. No hot water. Dirty bed sheets. And we I checked out they asked me to pay for the room I already paid for when booking few weeks before.
Ps: they accept credit card, but the machine never works
