Was not useable during my stay which I was greatly disappointed about and also the air conditioner in our did not work very well at all" - "Great view" - "There was a spiral staircase for different floors, no elevator. That could be difficult for some people to use, especially since there is only a simple bar for holding it to go up and down, someone could easily slip and get hurt. In addition, the sink faucet handle was broken, and there were also problems with the shower head. The shower head problem was resolved after reporting it, and we asked them to fix the faucet handle problem after we were no longer there. In addition, the electrical power was shut off for everyone because of a power line falling down. Everyone was evacuated, and a backup generator was used."

They were supposed to organize a ride from port Barton for us and we were never picked up. They say it’s $600 but you have to pay for other taxis to the bus station. There was no apology when we finally arrived. Our room had tiny ants everywhere and every where in the washroom. The power doesn’t work for the majority of the day and they could do something more to help this like light candles or something."
