This property was an over priced dump. Booked 2 rooms. Both room sliding doors on the 1st floor could not be closed. The safe in one room didn’t work and the window in one room couldn’t be closed. We refused to stay in rooms with doors that couldn’t be closed so they fixed them both. They attempted to fix the safe, it work for a few hours then stopped. The air conditioner hissed all night and barely cooled the room. Asked for a change of room which they denied. Save your money and book elsewhere. Oh yes the staff were just rude and operate mechanically just doing a job they obviously hate.
