Absolutely horrible place to stay. The staff were rude, unprofessional and have an immature mindset. I noticed that when the women working there spoke to men, they were giggling and bubbly, but when I speak to them - cold, blunt and short. Not a good look. Firstly, I paid almost $700 for 4 nights - yet they try to charge anextra $25 just to get your towels and sheets changed? Absolutely absurd. ...

I believe that it has not been cleaned for some time due to the unit's poor state of cleanliness. Furniture-heavily stained, carpets-heavily stained, tiled areas-not swept or mopped. I would have cleaned the room myself however there were no cleaning items such as a mop or broom. ...

Overall disgusting wouldn't stay there again. Price was ridiculous for what we got. Airc...
