Reviews
We tried calling many times, and nobody ever answered. We were left outside in the cold and rain at night, far from the city, with no help at all.
Later, the hotel across the street told us this place was closed.
Unacceptable to still take bookings and ignore guests. Avoid this hotel.
Do not book this - it’s closed.🙃
