We liked the style of the buildings, but they really need to be renovated. The door didn’t fit properly in the frame and had a bit missing at the bottom. We could see quite a bit of light through these gaps. The carpet was stained and seemed dirty. The iron didn’t work properly. The refrigerator didn’t keep our items cold.

The upgraded room was decent after two room changes. Some standard rooms are in horrible condition with wholes in the walls & dirty everything. One room I was offered I didnt even want to put my luggage on the bed. Very unclean unkept conditions. Many other nicer hotels and resorts in area to choose from.
