Patricia

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When we arrived they did not have the room we had booked, we had to take a smaller room. Two days without water to shower and 4 days without hot water. One morning there was no breakfast because there was a power outage. They do not offer toiletries, and towels were often missing after cleaning. They also do not have laundry service at the hotel.
