Okay but could be improved
Overall it was an okay stay. The rooms don’t look as good as the pictures and half the hotel was maybe burnt down or being reconstructed, I’m not sure but very off putting. The first room we stayed in had ants in the tub and bathroom area. We were able to switch rooms and thankfully that room was much better. The staff could have been a little friendlier as well.
