Worst Experience – This is Not Even a Hotel
This place should not be listed as a hotel. It is located in the middle of nowhere, completely inaccessible by car. We had to walk a long distance on foot, during which we encountered wild animals — an extremely unsafe situation.
Upon arrival, we were shocked to find that the entire facility was in a state of severe neglect. Mold was present everywhere — on the walls, ceilings, and even furniture. The conditions were absolutely unacceptable.
We attempted to call ahead for information, but were blatantly lied to about the location, accessibility, and condition of the property.
This was by far the worst experience we’ve ever had. We refused to stay overnight and left immediately. Do not be misled — this is not a hotel, and it is not suitable for any type of stay.
