Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reports of poor cleanliness: used condoms in rooms, mold/mildew smells, missing housekeeping visits and missing towels; several guests explicitly complained about room hygiene.
Service
7.2
Mixed service: some guests described friendly staff and helpful check-ins, but there are numerous serious complaints about rude or negligent staff, undisclosed cash deposit policies, charging extra at check-out, and lack of response when items were left behind.
Location
8
Location is frequently cited as a positive (explicit 'Location' pro and multiple mentions of convenience); generally one of the stronger aspects reported.
Room Quality
5
Mixed room quality: reports of small/uncomfortable beds, thin walls and nightly noise, crooked furnishings, TV problems and missing remote backing, but some guests found rooms comfortable and clean on arrival.
Amenities
6
Amenities are present but inconsistent: pool and jacuzzi mentioned (pool 'ok') but closures/limited hours and access problems reported; vending/ice setup criticized; overall functional but poorly maintained.
Value for Money
6.8
Price is cited positively by several guests, but deposit demands, unexpected extra charges and withheld deposits reduce perceived value for many visitors.
Food and Beverage
4.7
Breakfast issues: multiple guests reported the 'included breakfast' is misleading and requires purchase; otherwise few F&B positives mentioned.
Overall Experience
6
Overall mixed experience: some guests had pleasant, no-frills stays and praised friendly moments, while others reported severe service and cleanliness issues leading to 'never again' sentiments; average experience is below excellent but not uniformly terrible.

(Never again)
Pros:

The pool was ok

Cons:

The staff at night , not friendly at all. The advertisement says one thing, get there they demand a $100 cash deposit, if you don't have it you just lost what the room cost, non-refundable. I'll never stay there again, at any of them
