I was there for 3 days, in room 1118 there were some small cockroaches, in the bathroom, on the floor of the room. During this period the room was not cleaned... The hotel is excellent. I noticed that they are undergoing renovations, everything should be better.

Terrible experience.

The entire hotel is under construction, the rooms are dirty and full of cockroaches. The toilet overflowed when we flushed it. The bed was full of bedbugs. There was no staff in the lobby when we arrived. The pool, restaurant, and gym were closed. We had to leave the hotel in the middle of the night and go somewhere else. They should close it down.

The room was very musty and humid, the AC was turned down to 60° so I assumed it was recently turned on and the room faced west with the sun beating the window. As of 0130 I went out to sleep in the truck with a soaked bed and a still hot, humid room.

Worst stay in a hotel EVER

After making the booking i was informed the pool and restaurant were closed. It should have said so before I booked. Upon arrival I saw that there was a total renovation going on with workers and dust everywhere. I asked if there was any coffee available-No, I asked where the ice machine was- we don't have one it was removed for the renovation. When I got to my room, which was neat and tidy, there was no chair to sit on at the desk so i had to go back to reception and ask him for one, he was very helpful and fetched one from another room. After I had finished working i went to get a shower-the valve was broken and partially removed so i couldn't have a shower. I then went to wash my face - there was no hot water. I thought i would sit outside and take in the evening sunshine with a cocktail, after id had to drive to 7/11 for ice. There were no chairs outside anywhere on the property so i went back to my room to watch some TV- that didn't work either just a frozen pixelated screen. All in all this was the worst hotel visit i have experienced in over 50 years of travel in many countries around the world including the third world. That hotel should not have even been selling rooms at this time and i feel as though i was scammed. I am going to apply for a refund
