Don't go there !
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Dirty bathroom- rust and mold buildup on wall, toilet bowl had stains, hasn't been cleaned for months. Car parks are so far from rooms. Entire property looks old, dead and dirty.
The rooms felt unusual, dark and spooky. Worst experience and waste of money. My family and I didn't sleep well whole night. I actually couldn't wait to check out.

Overall was a great stay, would recommend to stay there for another weekend.
Pros:

The privacy was good. Was able to find room easily. The room was clean to the standard, and was very comfortable while sleeping.

Cons:

Not enough car spaces when we arrived back from having dinner. Had to park further from the entry way. Didn’t keep out some noises from other guests down the hall - most likely walking or running down the hallway.

Do not stay there
Pros:

Actually the beds were quite comfortable.

Cons:

Had to wait at reception for 25 minutes, and they only came once we phoned them, giving a very poor excuse. Very smelly rooms, strong curry and urine smell. Poor electrics, coming away from the wall. Poorly maintained generally, including the doors/windows and decoration. Lack of access to pool, no dining facilities.

Disappointed the basics are not well provided for.
Pros:

The location near Urbano was OK although it is not close to any shops.

Cons:

The shower was either really hot or cold with poor pressure. It was difficult to set the temperature. There were urine stains around the base of the toilet. The coffee provided was very poor. There was a lack of power points. I had an adjoining room as we travelled as a family but there was nowhere to put my suitcase-no luggage rack or table. The room could've easily had a table under the TV. I had to put it on the floor.

Shouldn’t be on Booking. com
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Did not look anything like the website. As for the pool. What a joke. Blue tarp and rocks.
No mattress protection on the bed.
Manager no show in the morning. Just terrible.

Be sure to check what weekend you booked. We likely booked a busy weekend with the accom full of children and we often h
Pros:

The room its self was stunning… if you want an affordable place to stay it’s all good!

Cons:

You arrive at a place that looks like a hostel layout.
Stunning rooms inside just feels like your arriving at a very old hostel or hospital.
