Poor

I stayed for two weeks...

Liked: The accommodation suited my budget. It was close to the Sports Center which is why I was here. There was a large shopping mall and good quality places to eat within easy walking distance. The pool is small but it did it's job. I enjoyed my late afternoon swims and lying out in the setting sunshine. I felt safe to go out for a run in the local area which was reasonably quiet with lots of hotels around and very little (if any) residential properties. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
Disliked: I had a problem checking in when I arrived at 3am from the airport. There was a computer bug/issue which stopped the hotel receiving my payment details from booking.com. I had to wait at reception until that was sorted. Maybe a currency conversion problem? I paid in GBP. Probably not the hotel's fault to be fair. The hotel is a bit dated but the budget price and the friendly welcome made up for that as far as I was concerned.

Pleasant

Passable

I asked for a refund...

Liked: I did not like anything about the property
Disliked: The parking lot was completely filthy when I arrived. It was cups and trash scattered in front of the establishment. People where all around “hanging out”, dogs pooped anywhere, high level of prostitution guest and activity in that area. I was given a key to a room that someone else was already in. My safety was at stake I did not trust staying in this establishment.

Expensive and only just ok...

Liked: Location suited us.
Disliked: Poor lighting and dismal bathroom.

Very good

Superb

Good

I would stay again if...

Liked: Check in and out was easy. The pool area was small, but nice and clean. I couldn't stay out by the pool because there were people smoking out there, unfortunately. I appreciated the fact that I could use a credit card at the vending machines. Not every hotel offers this feature.
Disliked: The hallways to the rooms were freezing! And the bathroom vent was really loud. So loud that my head was vibrating.I wish there had been carpeting throughout the room. There was one strip of carpet between the two double beds, so that was good. I had to keep the A/C off the entire time. There just wasn't a comfortable setting for me. Could be just me!No coffee available for guests. That would have been a plus.
