My wife stayed at this hotel for one night, the room was below average, clean enough to say the least, there was no soap in the bathroom, used toilet paper, the attendant does not know anything about anything, she offered to bring a bottle of water for the room, never came back, the hotel advertise a free breakfast, it was a lie, there is no breakfast, the customer service is non existing, I would never recommend or stay in this hotel ever again.

First at all, this hotel was difficult to find as has not even its name displayed outside. Extremely poor customer service, room had no toilet paper, no tv program, no free minibar (as advertised), cold shower, no internet, and the manager was never available to address these issues. Next day there was no electricity and then no air conditioning in an 80 F degrees environment. A total nightmare that made me leave to a more decent place. A gave 1 star because there is no 1/4 of a star.

I did not have a great experience at this hotel. 1/5 experience. I pulled the sheets off my bed and the sheet covering the mattress was dirty. The hotel staff was kind and helpful though they missed informed me on what time breakfast was and when I went down I was told breakfast was over. The following day when I received breakfast it was poor. I was served a salami and cheese sandwich and the person across from me was served mashed potatoes with eggs and salami. So I believe they serve you what they have and it’s not a universal breakfast for everybody. There was no menu to choose from. I had a bad Wi-Fi connection in my room on the fifth floor room 18. The sink water would not run and the toilet seat was cracked in many places. The shower had good water pressure but the water went everywhere on the ground. The room includes a mini fridge with nothing in it and a dim lamp. Positive: The lighting in the room was good and I had a great view of the waterfront. The best thing about this hotel is the location but your stay may vary from person to person depending on the room and service they give you
