Nice hotel for a night layover awaiting transfer to a resort. The staff were all lovely and helped me sort out the details of the transfer. The rooms are a bit worn down and there is peeling paint on the walls, but they have the basic amenities.

The staff were good and all but I was asked the second time at 2AM when i brought my wife whether i have already given my id card details and all. its funny because at checkin before they hand over the key all this is confirmed and i felt insulted because this question was asked. other than that stay was good all staff were friendly.

My room was filled with cigarette odor despite being a non-smoking room. The bed sheets had stains, the bathroom didn’t have hand soap nor toilet paper and we had to ask for it. The experience doesn’t justify the pictures, stay away.
