Cons:

They asked me for 100$ for a security bond that should've been reimbursed in 2-3 days as much, I did the claim and nothing, it's been almost 2 weeks and I'm still waiting, that kind of attitude it's not nice at all honestly

I did slip in the tub, it was mostly my fault but it wasn't close to where the hand rail was so I injured my back a little bit.

A deeply disappointing experience that left us out of pocket, distressed, and unable to complete our stay due to a serio
Pros:

The location was convenient, and the check-in process was straightforward.

Cons:

Our stay was cut short after we discovered what appeared to be bed bugs in Room 214. We took photos and videos, contacted the after-hours emergency service, and received no response. We had to leave at 3:00 am, book another hotel at our own expense, and immediately wash and dry all of our clothes to minimise the risk of bringing pests home. No response from after hours manager and no assistance and urgency from the property made an already stressful situation much worse.
