This is not a 4 stars hotel, 3 at the very best. We were put in an area where we had to walk out of the reception building and there were no elevators (we had to carry our lugagge to the 3rd floor by stairs). The tv remote control didn't work, the outlets in the room were loose and some didn't work (therefore difficult to charge devices). We were given 2 towels, enven though reservation was for 3, the back out shade works only partially and so on. Very old building, where they tried to revamp the appearance but not the structure. Staff not trained well, we were not offered help with the luggage and at check out didn't even ask how our stay was. Wouldn't stay again and wouldn't recommend.

There was very little hot water, no bar soap as an exception. AC had to work too hard. AND the door to the room didn't close; it had to be forced!

The property itself was very nice except for the random short sets of stairs in the hallways, making it difficult for me to get my suitcase up and down them. What I have a problem with was the hidden "resort fee" of $25 a day. If that had been disclosed before I booked, I would have chosen another hotel, and I won't stay here again because I hate that kind of deceptive business practice, not to mention, "resort fee" for what? The pool that I didn't use, because I stayed in September for work?
