Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was less than ideal. While the pool area was lovely and the courtyard added a nice touch, the room I received was not up to par. I found it dank and musty, not fitting for the price I paid. There were issues with noise from other guests and a lack of proper service when it came to resolving them. Overall, it felt overpriced for what I experienced, which was disappointing.

The room I received was dank, musty, and very basic, lacking the comfort and cleanliness expected for the price.
Service

The service was overwhelmed and inconsistent; I didn’t feel supported during noise complaints and didn’t receive promised refunds.
Location

The location was decent, with a nice view of the pool area from the second room I got, but still not what I expected considering the price.
