Dingy and felt unsecured
Wouldn’t go back. The place looked clean but didn’t feel like it. The reception was nice enough to accommodate an early check in for a short notice which was really helpful. The locks didn’t make us feel secured. Can easily be broken in. Pool was dirty. The location was perfect though. We decided to cut our trip short.
