Pros:

Room:
The room was extremely basic and left a lot to be desired. To make matters worse, it wasn't cleaned properly prior to my arrival.

Breakfast & Dinner (Dining):
The room service menu was very limited, with very few options to choose from. For the prices charged, the food was far too expensive for what turned out to be very average taste and quality.

Overall Service & Reception:
The check-in process was very slow, and the reception team appeared noticeably overworked and understaffed. The check-out experience was equally disappointing; it was extremely frustrating and pointlessly long. Overall, the poor service and lack of cleanliness ruined what should have been a comfortable stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately, almost every aspect of the stay fell short. The check-in was very slow, and the reception team appeared noticeably overworked. Upon entering, the room was very basic and hadn't been cleaned properly. When ordering food, we found the room service menu to be extremely limited, and what arrived was overpriced and average in taste. To top it off, check-out was pointlessly long and extremely frustrating.

I hated the reception staff .. beside ALAZ
Pros:

The property was smart

Cons:

The staff at reception
They overcharged me
When you go back to say why the bill is high
They talk behind to say I’m complaining about the bill .
They say my bill is correct I told them it not what booking . Com charged me . They say it’s taxes
Later I came back they still rude to me acting like I’m a crazy
After Alaz helped me he looked at my bill and asked how many nights you staying I said 3 nights he say it’s charged for 4 nights .
You see the other staff was not helpfull made fun of me like I’m crazy
There was no welcome to say what’s complimentary I had to find out myself
They look at status
ALAZ was the only friendly and clever staff
