Pros +
- One of the worst value-for-money hotel experiences ever. Checkin @ 5pm or after, check-out before 10am. No parking spaces, we had to find a place to park on the street. The room didn't even have a shower or any amenities. Apathetic staff. Bad all around.
- They advertised themselves as a guest house,serving breakfast. In fact it was a HOSTEL, with noi shower or bath in the rooms, no towels no soap and a bran muffin for breakfast ! They charged $---- For 3 nights for this charade. It was a deliberate con game and we felt we have been HAD!
- Location
Cons -
- There was honestly nothing that we liked about it. I guess the location is good, but bc of their ridiculous check in and out times, we didn't get to enjoy the location.
- We did not like anything about this "hotel"
- Deposit is high
