Property was average . Comfortable room & beds. Shared bathroom was not bad at all just right across our room & convenient. Location close to restaurants & gas stations. Only negative feedback 2 staff members were avoiding us in the lobby & eating area. Felt like it was rude behaviour. Overall will still recommend this hotel. Thank you!

This is one of the worst places I ever stayed. I had to call when I arrived as I hadn't been emailed a code. The woman was incredibly rude and nasty. When I showered, it wouldn't drain. The sink made bizarre loud noises. It was very expensive for what it is but there are few choices in the area. Of yoh have to stay here

Only stay here as a last resort. Nobody is there to give you any information. We got there around 17:00 and our room had not been cleaned. We tried calling the posted number for help but nobody answered. Nobody ever responded Thankfully we ran into a staff member who cleaned the room after we arrived. After that though everything was fine, but it was very frustrating.

Disliked: Staff & service
The staffs who worked there on the day we checked in couldn't communicate with English. It's hard for us to figure out something. The lady wasn't patient and friendly. Next morning, at breakfast time, my son spilled some water on the counter and floor. We used the napkins to clean up the water. The lady showed frustrated face to us. She took the whole box of napkins away. We just wanted to clean up the water spilled so no one slipped. We'd rather she gave us a towel to clean up the water or told us she could mop the floor instead of frowning her forehead and giving us a dirty look. That was not nice at all. We were not fond of the staffs. Otherwise everything else was good.

The bathrooms lacked paper towels and the showers are TINY. The showers didn't drain and I stood in 4 inches of water. Otherwise, the staff at breakfast was very nice and the room was clean.

Property was clean. Good/fast elevator. Key code access to the room is modern and worked well. Breakfast included was basic but decent variety and well attended by staff. Check-in was a bit uncertain since we did not receive a message from the host as we expected (yes, we checked junk mail). We called multiple times throughout the day of check-in to the number provided but no answer. So we changed our plans for the day (very inconvenient) to get to the hotel early right at the 4 pm start of check in. When we arrived we couldn't get in the door. But another guest let us in. We called the number again from the lobby without an answer. Fortunately, we located facilities staff that was able to get us the room and building access codes. Sounds travels easily through the walls. We had a family in the next unit that was up past midnight talking and laughing that kept us up. It felt like they were in the same room as us. All said, decent accommodation for the price (relative to other more expensive places on the peninsula). Check in should be more seemless.

La struttura, benché all’esterno si presenti in buono stato, all’interno risulta modesta e con arredi datati. È stato per noi faticoso trovare la nostra stanza da 3 poiché non vi era alcuna indicazione per raggiungerla. La camera risulta sufficientemente ampia e pulita, è presente un piccolo lavandino e un armadio, ed è dotata di asciugamani. I bagni, come il resto della struttura, risultato poco manutentati e non troppo puliti e privi di prese elettriche. Anche se non specificato nell’annuncio, abbiamo con sorpresa scoperto che la colazione a buffet è inclusa. È presente inoltre una sala comune non molto ben organizzata, dotata di un piccolo frigorifero, un microonde e un distributore per bevande calde, e non vi è alcuna cucina. Alla mattina, la sala viene inspiegabilmente chiusa a chiave rendendola di fatto inaccessibile. Check-in e check-out sono effettuabili solo attraverso la formula “self” e gli host seppur presenti in struttura non parlano inglese e pertanto non possono fornire alcuna assistenza. NB: la struttura è dotata di ascensore all’apparenza funzionante nonostante i post it indicavano che fosse fuori servizio.
