    Horrid

    Horrible, horrible experience I was experiencing a life or death situation back home and was unable to get in touch with anyone. The hotel cannot accommodate me. They told me the electricity went out. There was no Wi-Fi. This whole day was absolutely horrible. They promised to upgrade my room because my shower was running cold and my air conditioner was not working even with the balcony door closed and 95+ degree weather I would not recommend this place. They do not care about their guest and the communication back-and-forth between them and booking.com was absolutely horrible as well.
