This hotel has changed names and there is no signage showing the hotel location. The hotel is being managed by an Egyptian guy. This hotel is in need of alot of renovation. Expedia needs to remove them from posting fake information. Beds are broken, ceiling has big holes. it a a personal home and in very very poor condition. Not hot water. the lock you in the property we waited 30mins to have an attended let us out of the property so we can get dinner. the road is horrible no accessible. nightmare trip!!!!
