The staff in reception 'checked us in and out' but no info on hotel facilities and both had rude, uncaring attitude. The interior is totally run down. The bed base in Room 110 was broken so bad nights sleep. The mattress and pillows too soft and old. Tge linen was nit the cleanest and towels small and hard. The floor was not straight, it had ripples in it. There were crushed nuts and food on the floor so obviously the room had not been cleaned carefully, if at all. Good thing we're not allergic to nuts!! The walls, ceilings and floors are paper thin, so could hear the man next door shouting at the person he was with and using the toilet. Could hear the people above us. Doors banging all night long. Pipes making noises all night. Surprised they dare charged what they do, even if comparatively cheap

Was aware of the low ratings for this hotel, but realized that it was really that bad when we got there. If not for the cheap price, i wouldn't consider staying there again. I guess you get what you pay for. 😔

There are no words to describe this hotel! Seriously considered sleeping in our car. Luckily we only stayed 4 hours just to shut our eyes before using the shuttle. Do not stay here! Toilet wouldn’t flush which was the least of our concerns.
