Avec ma femme nous avions reservé 5 nuits, mais nous avons fuit après 1 nuit. Nous avons contacté Expedia et leur avons partagé les photos horribles de la chambre afin d'obtenir un changemenr d'hotel et un remboursement. Expedia a appelé l'hotel, mais rien n'a changé. Nous avons donc passé 1 nuit. Mes mots pour décrire cet hotel : Horrible, honteux scandaleux. Un cauchemard. Aucun intimité, pas de rideaux, pas de chasse d'eau, des travaux toute la journée, la clim qui coule qur nos têtes dans la chambre, pas de savon pour nous laver. Cet hotel devrait fermer ses portes.
