Ride and Stay Hotel

I cut my stay here short. On the face of it this place is ok with a nice pool and unique converted rooms and I realise there is self catering options, however I was in a hotel room and breakfast was included which was fine. I didn’t sleep at all during my two night stay because the bed was broken and uncomfortable, there were dogs barking all through the night and there are no curtains or blinds so when the sun comes up the room is too bright to sleep. There are no tea and coffee facilities in the room and drinking water is not provided or available. The shower water didn’t drain away properly which led to a very wet bathroom floor. The place is run by a group of young men who hang around the reception area so some people might find this a little intimidating, however they are friendly and very helpful when asked questions. I wasn’t shown around or given any information on breakfast times and facilities etc. The location is 3km away from Cesme and I was told they couldn’t order taxis (or taxis won’t pick up from there - I wasn’t sure what they meant) so I walked almost an hour into Cesme when I needed to go. I know it’s called ‘Ride and Stay’ so I’d suggest having a car is essential if staying here, and I didn’t have one. The grass around the pool was very wet and swamp like. The site I used to book this said I could pay by card but the manager told me it was cash only due to not having a working card machine. When told I couldn’t pay cash the manager produced a card machine. I was charged 6000 TKY Lira for two nights which is a lot for the area and so I would say this place is NOT value for money at all and would suggest finding something in Cesme which would be cheaper and more comfortable, in my opinion.
