This was hands down the worst hotel experience I've ever had. The wires were hanging loose from behind and beside the bed—multiple cords, not just a few. It was a real safety hazard. The carpet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years, stained and worn thin. All the fixtures were completely worn out and falling apart. Breakfast? Just a bunch of unidentifiable gruel-like dishes—I couldn’t even recognize half the items. It was so bad we left the dining area immediately and went out to eat elsewhere. We ended up searching for another place, booking it right away, and checked out the same day. This property shouldn’t be operating at all. It needs full renovation—or better yet, closure. I genuinely feel sorry for the staff who have to work in such conditions. Please, don’t go here. It’s not worth it.
