Overall, this hotel was overpriced, poorly managed, and lacked basic customer service, making it one of the worst travel
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Horrible experience. The room was very small and smelled of mould. The buffet was not worth it at all, and I kept receiving conflicting information regarding dietary requests. The food options were very basic and did not meet my dietary requirements. To make matters worse, I was only informed at the last minute that parking would cost $50 per night.

On the last night of our stay, a $50 note went missing from my daughter’s purse. When I asked the hotel to investigate and check with staff, the manager simply told me to pursue the matter with the police, stating that there was nothing they could do. I found this response very rude and dismissive.

I have travelled extensively and stayed in many hotels, but I have never had such a disappointing experience. I strongly recommend that others do not stay at this hotel.
