Staff offered to get switch it with one from the next room. Asked why it was not replaced and was told the owners have been repeatedly told about but they were ignored. No ceiling fan only an a/c which is unsuitable on cold and rainy days or if you have dry skin and avoid using too much air-conditioning. Cracked loose ceramic tiles both in the room and entrance to the rooms. I made an online booking for a room with 3 single beds viewing picture on website. But on arrival l was told they no longer do online bookings and therrfore was forced to pay more than l bargained for by taking a family room. But it is walking distance from Galo if you dont mind using the short cut. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kishen Makanji Jan 14, 2021 ##### Kishen Makanji Stayed 1 night in Jan 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Vacation Club Cancun Resort Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Cancun-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h1144016.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d179995-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d10353-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Havana](https://www.expedia.ca/Havana-Hotels.d1432.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Brainerd](https://www.expedia.ca/Brainerd-Hotels.d6059985.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Abbotsford](https://www.expedia.ca/Abbotsford-Bed-And-Breakfast.d4128-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Rodeway Inn Festival](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Conference-Centre-Festival.h38504975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-The-Westin-Resort-Spa-Puerto-Vallarta.h22052.Hotel-Information) > > [Cresta Mowana Safari Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kasane-Hotels-Cresta-Mowana-Safari-Resort-Spa.h528715.Hotel-Information) > > [Akumal Bay Beach & Wellness Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Akumal-Bay-Beach-Wellness-Resort-All-Inclusive.h8717087.Hotel-Information) > > [Skuggi Hotel by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Skuggi-Hotel-By-Keahotels.h10947140.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterside Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Gaborone-Hotels-Waterside-Cottages.h18811294.Hotel-Information) > > [Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adult Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Valentin-Imperial-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h1789787.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Apartments Langley](https://www.expedia.ca/Langley-Apartments.d8530-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Raleigh (RDU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/rdu/detroit-to-raleigh) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yvr/victoria-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Suðurnesjabær (KEF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/kef/edmonton-to-reykjavik) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Punjab (ISB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/isb/toronto-to-islamabad) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ist/toronto-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ywg/toronto-to-winnipeg) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Phoenix](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Sky-Harbor-Intl.d5785680.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Atlanta](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Hartsfield-Jackson-Atlanta-Intl.d5002305.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Budget at Toronto Pearson Intl Apo 5990 Airport Rd Mississauga Ontario CAN](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-at-Toronto-Pearson-Intl-Apo-5990-Airport-Rd-Mississauga-Ontario-CAN.v8436.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) > > [Car rentals in Kayak Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Kayak-Island.d6193568.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Reptilia Zoo](https://www.expedia.ca/Reptilia-Zoo-Toronto.d6213719.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove](https://www.expedia.ca/Petty-Harbour-Maddox-Cove.dx6297321) > > [Visit Downtown Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Downtown-Kelowna.dx3000662835)
