I was definitely unprepared for the "claimed" 4-star rating. The description overstated the condition of the hotel and its amenities. I asked for the manager and inquired about the revolting pungent smell. His exact words were 'this is the most expensive kind of smell that we paid for'. What nonsense! I have stayed all over the world and some 2-star hotels in rural USA are definitely a better.

The location of the property was good but the fact that I spent 3 nights and the toilet choked each day and twice in one day and instead of moving me to another room they just continued to unchoke the toilet which clearly needed more maintenance than was done each time.

Room excellent. Service at reception non existent. They speak little or no English. Whatever I asked for whether it was an extra blanket or a taxi that I could pay by credit card they couldn’t sort. It took me 40 mins to checkout even though there was no queue. They couldn’t even print me an invoice. Avoid at all costs.
