When this hotel first opened, I’m sure it must have been absolutely stunning, because you can still see the potential it once had. Unfortunately, today it feels neglected and is clearly being allowed to deteriorate.
The entire property has an almost deserted, ghost-hotel feeling. Staff are extremely scarce, and getting someone to assist you can be very difficult. There is no functioning restaurant, despite what you may expect from a property like this, and there aren’t even basic coffee sachets provided in the rooms.
Housekeeping is another major issue. Our room was not cleaned unless we actively went looking for someone and specifically asked for it to be done. Maintenance throughout the property is poor — so many things are broken, worn out, poorly repaired, or quite literally feel as though they are being held together with hopes and dreams.
There was also an area of the hotel where the atmosphere and activity did not feel particularly family-friendly, which made us uncomfortable.
The saddest part is that this place genuinely has the potential to be beautiful. The structure and original design are there, but it desperately needs proper management, maintenance, staffing and care. At the moment, it feels as though the owners and management are simply allowing it to fall into ruin.
For the price being charged, there are far better hotels in the area offering much better service, cleanliness, amenities and overall experience for the same price — or even less.
Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying here in its current condition. With the right investment and management, it could once again be an amazing property, but right now it simply does not offer the standard or value that guests should expect.
