The Club House Hotel

The Club House Hotel

4/10 Poor
"The only positive about this property was the location. The property was dated and the room was small, the details not matching those described on the property details page. Additionally, the room decor was spartan and had the general vibe of a hostel. Would never consider this property again and will never recommend it to others."
