"Don’t waste your money. We booked the hotel room and when we arrived the manager told us the room did not existed and wouldn’t give us another room. It says the hotel has a pool, but it wasn’t even filled up. The place is dirty, smells, and has only 3-5 parking lots in a garage, so we had to park out on the street. At the end we didn’t even stayed there, and wouldn’t give us a refund."
