“I found the location practical, but be aware, I had concerns regarding the overall upkeep and the activities I witnessed around the property; based on my observations, arranging alternative accommodations might be prudent. Ultimately, a stay here requires a clear understanding of its limitations. It is my opinion that the hotel requires a big improvement.”
