Disjointed booking process, booking in and sharing same info in another required form. Apartment was not well equipped, for example there was one glass and in the cutlery section one folk for a 6 guest apartment. Fan were clunky, one looked unsafe and extremely loud for sleeping. Was clean and good parking options available.

Too expensive and not good

Extremely basic and cheap facilities. No shampoo, no conditioner and no toilet paper, even when we requested, they did not supply. The floor and walls were not cleaned at all. Internet was the worst in this hotel. Internet kept disconnecting all the time, like 5 minutes connection and then 3 minutes disconnection, on and off all the time.

Given the abundance of warnings we were given by John about what my dog could or couldn’t do I thought the apartment would be clean and the furnishings new. The place was filthy and I was glad I bought a blanket for the couch so my Dog & I didn’t have to sit on it! Missing slats in the blinds meant the sun woke us early. Not that we slept well, the pillows were cheap and useless The dining chairs were ripped & gross. The air conditioner was so loud we were worried to use it in case it bothered the neighbours. Paid a premium as it was unfortunately the same weekend as a football game - thought it was odd John was happy to tell me we were being ripped off! So not value for money!
