"The staff was terrible no easy access to hotel. It was difficult to deal with hotel. Hotel is unhygienic and staff is very lazy bad customer service. Inwould never recommend it."
"There is no “free breakfast” it’s fraud. When my parents went and requested they flat denied. My parents asked for giving this denial in written, they denied this as well. I contacted Expedia representative who called up the hotel and they denied the representative as well.
The amenities were 0 (not lacking 0). No soap, nothing.
Location is good."
