The bedrooms and the bathrooms are too small, the good thing is where it's located!

First of all, we booked for double bed and what we got was a bunk bed. They told that they had totally over booked their double rooms and "it happens all the time". We got a little discount though.

Every little move I made resulted in the whole bed... More

Upon arriving we were told check-in was at 2, not 1 like the website had said. But that was okay because it allowed us time to... More
