Turninstand Travel: A Disappointing Vacation Experience

Posted on Mar 31, 2025 in Other university degrees and diplomas

Have you ever visited Turninstand? I went there last year, and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had.

When we got to the hotel, after waiting for two hours at the airport, we realized we had gotten to the wrong hotel. They were extremely rude and didn’t even tell us how to get to the other one.

We were walking for hours when a man told us how to find it. Finally! It wasn’t much better, though. The hotel was dirty, hadn’t been cleaned in ages, smelled really strongly of feet, and it didn’t have a swimming pool, as advertised on their website.

The rest of the city wasn’t any better. We were stopped multiple times while walking on the street. People asked us to go to their restaurant or café, but we had just left the hotel.

We can’t recommend going there, and if I had known how bad it was, I would have never booked it.
