Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Was just here with a reservation of three nights. They only took a deposit which I was charged the day before my fist night. I was surprised I didn’t get the option to just pay my whole reservation in advance. Be careful, even with an unpaid reservation done in advance, they will try to charge you a different fee, in my case I was getting charged double the amount for the unpaid balance. During the reservation process, it only gave me the option to pay a deposit and to pay the rest at the hotel. Since I’m bilingual, I was able to talk to them and made them honor the fee on the unpaid reservation. Seems like they are trying to take advantage of the tourists. Be careful and look for another place around, there are plenty of hotels to chose from. Not to mention the rooms were very small. Just a very basic room.
