7/10 Good! (40 reviews)

I tried so hard to enjoy my stay but I couldn’t. My room wasn’t clean and the air conditioner broke. I paid for airport transportation (pickup and drop off), I set an agreed upon drop off time (11:30 am) yet was asked to wait. I waited about 25 mins before I ordered an Uber to avoid missing my flight back to the States. I didn’t receive a refund for the inconvenience either. The food & drinks were great but took awhile to receive them. I wouldn’t stay here again, there’s plenty of other hotels in the area.
