“What I found unsettling was the apparent disorganization, with check-in handled at an adjacent property. The condition raised concerns, as I read about cleanliness issues and a neglected pool area. For travelers prioritizing budget above all else and willing to overlook these shortcomings, it might suffice, but I would suggest exploring other options for peace of mind.”
