Da evitare, siamo arrivati alle 23:00 circa come concordato ed erano quasi infastiditi quando ci hanno visto, nei corridoi le luci erano quasi tutte spente e quelle accese erano soffuse. In prenotazioni avevano chiesto 2 singoli invece c'erano un matrimoniale che aveva una coperta sporca ed un singolo senza lenzuola e coperta. Avvisata la reception ci portano in camera una coperta singola e ci informano che non si usano lenzuola.... Bagno con porta scardinata, sporco e vecchio, asciugacapelli riparato con nastro isolante, doccia sporca (non l'abbiamo usata), asciugamani grigi e bucati, un rotolo di carta igienica quasi finito. In camera mancava la plafoniera al lampadario, ci avevano dato la scheda magnetica e siamo rimasti chiusi fuori, quindi hanno risolto con la chiave... Stanza rumorosa, fino alle 3:00 si sentivano urla e schiamazzi, si sentivano anche gli ospiti delle altre stanze. Colazione scadente senza alcun servizio di personale. In definitiva da evitare.
