נוראית, המוטל הכי מוזנח שביקרנו בו
Pros:

כלום

Cons:

הבדל משמעותי בין התמונות למקום, ריח עובש בחדר, חדר ישן, לא ניתן להתקלח במקלחת, אין זרם והדוש נמוך מידיי, זרם חלש מאוד, קירות חדר מתקלפים, יקר בהגזמה ביחס לתמורה

It’s a decent place to stay for me and I probably will stay there again, but I would like it if they would clean things
Pros:

Nice location. Good pool

Cons:

I stayed for four nights as I have many other times on business. They don’t always make up my room every night. The whole hotel needs a power wash. The stairwell by my room had splashes of drinks on the wall and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned or swept in years. That went for the rest of the property. Everything was dusty outside the ground. Staff and maids were very unfriendly, although the maids did a good job making up my room when they actually did it.
