Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was not advertised correctly. We booked as air conditioning was included at the hotel and in the room we booked. Then they placed us in a room without - tiny, extremely hot room and we were not comfortable. Only thing they could offer was a fan, nothing else. We were then told we would hear back with refund options, but absolutely nothing has been done.
