Not luxerious at all
I loved the location and the surrounding area and felt safe. We booked a 2 bedroom suite for our stay. The pictures of the hotel room was not representative of the room that we stayed. The furniture was very outdated and worn out. There were to many chairs in the living area which made no sense. The coffe table was oversized and had 4 dining chairs to sit in around it. There was also a dining table with an additional 4 chairs. The mattresses were hard and not comfortable at all. The bathtubs also need updating and the water pressure in the showers were very low.

2/10 Poor

I was charged for a tax for locals. I didn’t know tourists were not supposed to pay for it until I saw a sign they had posted at the front desk. When I asked them why they charged me for it, the front desk supervisor stated I didn’t have my immigration stamp on me. Keep in mind he never told me that was the document i needed to “proof” I wasn’t a local. I checked in with my American license and had a picture of my American passport, but he refused to give me the refund. He was extremely rude and disrespectful.
