We did not stay at this property. We found that one of the rooms we had booked had bed bugs in it and they acted like it wasn’t a big deal. We were refunded our money, however others that were there and were aware our room had bed bugs were not refunded money when they requested to leave.

Terrible value for the money

The room is terrible condition, the a/c unit cover was laying on the floor when I got in and I put It back on. The walls are beat to hell and the room wasn't that clean.
