The place has not changed. bad service. There are roaches all over the floors. And the managers steal money from the owner by not telling him when rooms are booked.

Comments (English):
Its filthy, none of the bathrooms are clean, I think
you'll actually pick up a few diseases if you have to use it. The rooms are terrible, and I got the wrong room.
The manager_ or who I confused with a cleaner, so unprofessional did she
look with her torn clothes and no underwear on was disgusting.
I don't even think the Tourism board will approve a place like that, and I
don't only speak about the hygiene in that place.

Comments (English):
The manager of the place is very rude and disrespectful to tenants. I was there for a choir competition for one night only. The rooms are simple (decent). It's a mission just to get toilet paper in the toilets. The rooms we booked, some of them already had tenants living in them which was odd. everything else was very basic. The only positive thing was that the place is close to the casino wheer there's nice things.
