It is located in the middle of nowhere, completely inaccessible by car. We had to walk a long distance on foot, during which we encountered wild animals — an extremely unsafe situation. Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that the entire facility was in a state of severe neglect. Mold was present everywhere — on the walls, ceilings, and even furniture. The conditions were absolutely unacceptable. We attempted to call ahead for information, but were blatantly lied to about the location, accessibility, and condition of the property. This was by far the worst experience we’ve ever had. We refused to stay overnight and left immediately. Do not be misled — this is not a hotel, and it is not suitable for any type of stay. ##### Arokiyarajah Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Lunenburg](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels.d6058263.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Family Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Barbados-Family-Hotel.0-0-d16-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [FOX JAFFNA by Fox Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Claridge’s, Maybourne](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Claridges.h15588.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Chicago](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Chicago.h18178914.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Sheraton-Centre-Toronto-Hotel.h23541.Hotel-Information) > > [Brigantine Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Brigantine-Inn-Suites.h3775224.Hotel-Information) > > [Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma Gojo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KEIO-PRELIA-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMA-GOJO.h26692179.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Diego Bayfront](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hilton-San-Diego-Bayfront.h1871645.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hong Kong](https://www.expedia.ca/Kowloon-Hotels-W-Hong-Kong.h2133542.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Faaa (PPT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ppt/montreal-to-papeete) > > [Flights from British Columbia (YXJ) to Cassidy (YCD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxj/ycd/fort-saint-john-to-nanaimo) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Manitoba (YDN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ydn/winnipeg-to-dauphin) > > [Flights from Newark (EWR) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ewr/cun/newark-liberty-intl-airport-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yvr/kitchener-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxu/toronto-to-london) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Pensacola (PNS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pns/toronto-to-pensacola) ### Activities > [Things to do in Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Tampa.d602996.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Anaheim](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Anaheim.d5921.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneys-Typhoon-Lagoon-Water-Park-Orlando.d6068695.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Horne-Lake-Caves-Provincial-Park-Port-Alberni.d6171474.Vacation-Attraction)
