It was awful. I do not recommend.
Pros:

Nothing. It was awful

Cons:

Everything. The room was so nasty. There was black mold EVERYWHERE, especially in the bathroom.
The bedding was dirty when I got to the room, and there was a cockroach in the shower. The building looked nothing like the pictures online, it’s an entirely different property.

Pros:

Everything was disgusting 🤮 the room was dirty and full of insects and even the bed and the walls, I went out to notify the reception and they said that 15 minutes had already passed and that they would not do anything to correct it and they would not return the money either, I had to leave that place. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Knowing what I know now, I will not stay here again. It’s’more of a motel where people live than a hotel for a family ge
Pros:

The property was easy to find. The lobby was clean

Cons:

I have 3 kids on this trip. One bring 16 months. Upon arriving, we are told the pool has been shut down for two years because of a part that the pool needs to operate. Booking.com did not disclose this information. The pictures on booking.com are nothing like the actual facility.
We stayed in room 141. Within minutes, my toddler found Pennies lying all over the room. My husband found a pill lying next to the bed which we later identified as omeprazole. Looking deeper around the room to make sure there was nothing else that my toddler could find, behind one of the beds was a pile of molded dog vomit. No telling how long it has been there considering the mold was so fuzzy, we almost thought it was a dead rat.
I went straight to the front desk to give them the pennies and the pill and showed them a picture of the monstrosity behind our bed. Still being check in day, he said there are no other rooms available but could send someone to clean it. No one came. Today is our last day of the two night stay and we have yet to see house keeping. No new towels, no new trash bags. No phone to call the front desk. Just filth. We have never stayed anywhere so slummy. Dogs barking from what seems like every room. No pool. No hot water in the only sink in the room.
The mini fridge sounded like it was going to explode so we unplugged it so no fridge during our stay as well as holes in one of the comforters.
