Disliked: Cleanliness
Initially i liked the property. It seemed clean, was simple and had all the basics. The towels were soft and the bed was comfortable. But on day two, i saw 3 roaches in my bathroom (2 i killed). Afterward, i was uncomfortable, didn’t eat from the kitchen and basically, couldn’t wait to leave the premises as I was concerned about the possibility of taking roaches with me in my luggage.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff seemed careless, customer service was lacking! They did not clean our room during our entire stay. We asked for fresh towels and did not receive any. Couldn’t use the pool due to chemical maintenance. Impossible to get a hot shower during the day, only had hot water late at night. Breakfast hours were very early and too short, so we missed out on that! We could here coughing all night from the adjoining room.Overall, our stay was less than satisfactory and would not recommend this hotel . Close to airport, so not much around the area.
