Complete rip off! This made us concerned about the amount of money we would be spending on transportation to and from the hotel daily. The bedding was horrible. Hard mattress, pillows and two flat sheets. It was not the cleanest. The breakfast buffet had flies around the food. We winded up relocating to...
