Reviews
I went down to the restaurant to asm about it (you have to go through restaurant management, since there is nobody else to contact regarding any needs or issues you have... even check in has to go through restaurant)... Anyway, I was told not to worry about the alrm it was also going on and off a nignt before!!! So, I should be happy I am not the inly one who couldn't sleep and almost has a heart attack!? Really? I tried to ask my money back and leave in a spot since I cannot sleep anyway, and it wasn't granted!!!
Moreover, shower area was dirty, aka never washed (disgusting). Also, some rioms do n9t have a shower and do not have a toilet so you woupd have to use a common shower - there is no lock in there, so anyone can walk in and see you any moment and common toilet (has a lock). I am not sure who was so nice to leave a 5 star review... This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. My father chose this place for stay... So, I sort of had choice...
P.S - the only window leaked water in after rain. Sink in the room was full of dirty water left after someone and plug was broken wo there was no way for me to let that water off (disgusting). Moreover, I noticed that sink is leaking water down on floor little by little, too... So, there are multiple issues.
