Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is no way that this so called hotel should be allowed to stay open. The room door and sliding patio door could not be locked properly so anyone could open. The wallpaper is peeling away and stains on all surfaces and they have the cheek to charge over $200 / night !

The lady in reception might have had a long day, she was a bit grumpy, other than that a more than adequate over night stay, parking was really great, right outside the room. We would stay again
