There were a lot of renovations happening and they what had been done want dinner very well. The shower drained very slowly so had to keep turning the shower off so it could drain and not flood the bathroom.

2/10 Poor

Great location, could be a good hotel, but it is so run down it's terrible. Badly in need of gutted renovations, bathroom tiles have been painted over many years ago and now peeling off making shower feel dirty, dead bugs in bathroom windows, doors don't lock properly, pool area is ok. Overall it's needs significant renovation.

Unfortunately, this is the worst property in the best spot. Personally, I wouldn't stay here unless you have to. Fortunately, it was an overnight stay on our way further south and nothing else was available. Not somewhere I would take my family but ok for a boys trip.

2/10 Poor

The hotel was extremely poor - stained carpet squares, poor drainage in shower, no deadlock on door, door frames exposed, someone working downstairs outside our balcony until 10:30pm (grinding bricks), no smoking yet we could smell smoke from the lady smoking openly and continuously for hours. Outside the hotel was also in disrepair! There were renovations happening - too little loot late I believe! The pool was clean and did look inviting. Certainly not worth the money!!
