This was the worst place I've ever stayed in my 20 plus years of travelling. There is no secure parking, the staff were either high or drunk when we arrived and the bed had bed bugs. In the middle of the night the drunken manager came out of his room waving a gun at someone running across the grounds. We were up because we couldn't sleep due to the bed bugs. It was horrible. Don't stay here is you can avoid it.
