The bed slanted as the whole floor is, so we tried sleeping where the opposite way at our feet end, otherwise we would have been slanted in an uncomfortable position. There were tiny ants in the bathroom everywhere and a hole in the floor! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c1b6d53d-cfbd-4325-a359-ebc25fe510c7-1748354035589.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eab2455e-f7e1-47ee-ad0e-1eed54dc892a-1748354035784.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/50cbb42d-f83e-45db-9748-bc5ab09955c8-1748354035170.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8fe1808c-753a-4672-992a-ae756765852a-1748354035494.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 6 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Our room was clean.
