Paid for a whole week and used nothing at their hotel but received not one penny as a refund. They claimed they have a 'no refund'... More

The room is dated, the management/owners ambivalent. The air conditioner under performs and is very old. It is not even sufficient to cool the room all the way. The only cool spot is directly in front of the unit, and once you leave the foot or so radius, the rest of the room is humid and hot. This is not... More

As others have said the staff is very rude. Way overpriced for the crummy rooms. My friends and I overbooked 2 rooms and the clerk was unwilling to work towards any comprimise.
