4/10 Poor

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Run down. Not retro.
Just generally speaking, it was desapointing. The person in charge of registration was very rude to us. We Aldo overheard them speaking very curtly to other travellers. The place was very run down. The shower head broke off as soon as we turned the water on... Even though we had paid for our stay in full, we ended up finding another place to stay. Too bad. The location is good and the place looks charming from outside.
