  : Good location. Cheap price.
  : The people who run this place don't know how to run a hotel. 1) They treat this place like a prison. At 7pm (19:00), they lock the doors ... so in order to get out of the hotel or get back in, you need their permission. Huge firecode violation, by the way. Anyway, you have to ring a bell on the front desk or call them ... and then they come to the door and unlock it. And if it's late at night, they are sleeping in one of the rooms so you have to knock on their window to wake them up so they come to the door to unlock it. Last night, I waited about 10 minutes outside for their employee to come to the door. Ridiculous! 2) Also, they got bed bugs. My arms got bitten all over from bed bugs. They need to fumigate this place. 3) In addition, nobody speaks English. Nobody. You'd think in a resort town like this that at least one of the employees would speak English. Nope. 4) There were no "do not disturb" signs to hang on the door ... so the cleaning lady would come in whether you wanted it or not. This is unacceptable. Plus, the cleaning lady was very loud. 5) The walls/flooring in this place are low quality ... so you hear everything. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well here. Now, I will say that this hotel is in a good location and a cheap price for American standards, but not worth it considering the aforementioned. Avoid this place like the plague. Pay more to find a nicer place. There are many other hotels to stay at. You might pay more, but then again, you get what you pay for.

  : Great location - near the beach and clubs.
  : On the surface, the hotel seems like a good deal - cheap price, especially for being near the beach. However, I got bed bugs while I was there - arms got bitten badly (forearms and wrists). I have photos to prove this, which I will try to upload, if possible. The last several days have been very painful for me, because of this. I had to go to the pharmacy and buy all sorts of creams/ointments and anti-septic for these bites. If it doesn't get better by tomorrow, I'll probably have to go to an urgent care clinic or something like that. These bites are bad to say the least. Also, the staff didn't speak English ... so we had difficulty communicating. Also, they treat the place like a prison. They lock it down at 7pm (19:00) ... and you have to ring the bell for them to let you out. However, coming back is worse, because you have to either call them or knock on the window of the housekeeper, who stays there most of the time. This is a pain in the neck. For example, one evening, I came back to the hotel at 11:35pm, and waited outside for 10 minutes knocking on the door and window until someone unlocked the door. Another time, I came back at 1:50pm (13:50) and it was locked ... and I had to knock on the door for several minutes before someone came to the door. So sometimes they even lock it down during the daytime ... if the housekeeper/front desk person has to go the bathroom or tend to a room. Obviously, this is ridiculous and not the way to run a hotel. They need to have a key for the main door that they give people staying there ... so people don't have to go this insanity when departing or entering the hotel. I am currently trying to work with booking.com to get a refund on this hotel reservation. I actually had back to back reservations at Shpinat and the staff didn't speak English so I couldn't explain to them the bed bug problem, thus couldn't get a refund.
