Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I rarely have issues with hotels, and when I do, they’re usually minor. However, my room was visibly dirty—hairs and dust covering the bathroom floor, a thick layer of dust on the TV, TV stand, desk, and other surfaces. Worst of all, the toilet had skid marks and pubic hair on the seat. It was absolutely unacceptable. I complained twice—one receptionist was unhelpfully robotic, and the cleaner was outright rude. This was a truly unpleasant stay, and I won’t be returning.

The location was absolutely phenomenal. The room how was quite outdated and there was a portable heater in my room along with an old cabinets etc. I don’t feel it was up to par with how much they charge. Views are really good though.
