Worst place ever! Hard to even talk to front desk since they aren’t even there and you have to call them. Also my room ( that was supposed to be the deluxe ) had a missing heater with a huge hole in the wall with a bunch of debris all over the floor. I called front desk and their only explanation was that they didn't have a maid for the past week. Reserved for two nights but refused to stay another night in this place and did not care for a refund. Worst place ever!

The room was beyond disappointing. The beds are broken down and the most uncomfortable I’ve slept in ever. The shower had a leak so heard dripping water all night. Mini fridge was leaking and got onto our luggage. Requested to check out after 1 night of a 2 night stay due to the poor condition of the room and was denied a refund even though I was told I would receive one. They offered me a new room but the experience was so bad I was unwilling to even look at what else they had to offer. Will never stay here again
