8.4/10 Very good! (1,121 reviews)
"Location is awful. Not a safe neighborhood. The hotel blocks the sun at the pool all day. The rooms are worn and my tap had a massive leak spraying onto the wall. I told the staff- no one came. Furniture in room is very stained and all the cabinets have a broke door or drawer."
