Urgently needs an upgrade
Many reports from guests say they felt this hotel needs to undergo a facelift, both on the outside of the building, as well as all the rooms. Fixtures and fittings started showing their age, and the decor has become shabby and worn. Unconfirmed reports indicate the wheels are already in motion for an upgrade.
negative:
Wi-Fi is down
The free Wi-Fi that is advertised does not work at all according to almost all guests who wanted to work, or make contact with family and friends. Guests who complained to management were told that it was down.
negative:
Pool out of action
Many visitors were quite disappointed that the pool was green, slimy and not in working condition to swim. Families with children were particularly frustrated with the conditions, and some decided to book elsewhere.
