Nous avions réserver avec Expédia. Rendu sur place la dame me dit qu'ils n'avait pas de réservation à notre nom. Je lui montre ma preuve d'expédia et la dame me dit de communiquer avec Expédia car ils ne font pas affaire avec eux. Il restait une chambre que j'ai pu louer mais plus cher que avec Expédia. La douche était glacé. La poignée pour l'eau chaude était brisée. Expédia a essayé de les appeler mais la réception quand ils entendait parler en anglais racrochait immidiatement le téléphone. Seul bon point le lit était confortable. Devant il y a un parc et il y avait du monde qui ont fait le party toute la nuit ce qui nous a empêché de dormir. Je ne retournerais jamais à cet endroit et je ne le recommande pas.
