"There wasn't anything to like about this property. Asked for room change as looked out to a brick wall. Photos on
Expedia website do not reflect the true appearance of the hotel or rooms. Extremely dated, needs total refurbishment. Pool area disgusting chairs cushions just thrown to one side, pool area never cleared up rubbish on floor was left there. Jacuzzi not working , to be honest due to the total uncleanliness of the hotel and surroundings I wouldnt have risked using it.
If my husband could've come home earlier he would've done."
