This place is not anywhere how it looks on the pictures! It is run down, in need of serious refurbishment, food was terrible, seriously avoid this place. Musky bad smell in the room. Pictures included in the review show the rusty bbq and extremely run down rooms. Actually it was that bad that 10 minutes after getting into the room my family decided to check out.
Rusty bbq for your use!
Dirty and stained floors
Old, run down doors and windows
Room block building in serious need of improvement
