Beware bed bugs! Don’t stay here!

Bed bugs!!!! Beware! My kids were bit by bed bugs while staying here. Absolutely disgusting. Hotel is not clean, everything is run down, old and disappointing. They should be ashamed of themselves! Pool was freezing, breakfast was bizarre, breakfast room upstairs covered in dust. The whole place looked like a haunted house. Cobwebs everywhere.
