Upon arrival the actual room was clean but when we went into the bathroom it was very clear the toilet had not been cleaned. The bath also had dirty foot prints in it. The Wi-Fi had a limit on it and only provided us enough data to watch half a show on Netflix before the limit was reached. No breakfast facilities. The bed was also rock hard. The staff were friendly but i think the price is abit high for what you actually get. I paid for a deluxe family room but it was tiny. I've paid less then half that at other place and gotten more for my money.
Wasnt a horrible place to stay but wouldn't
