"The room smelled like sewage and there was no ac. The fridge did not work and there was bugs in the room. Way over priced. They have a no cancelation policy so we had to stay there. We spent the most we could outside. The heated pool was not heated either."

Travelocity Verified Review
"The staff were very welcoming at this facility, while the rooms had some cleanliness issues, such as a dirty carpet, dirt on my bedsheets, and no screens to block insects from entering through the windows, the room was cozy and billed at an affordable price. If the rates for this hotel stay consistent, I would actually find myself staying here once more, but if the aspects of the room I listed above are dealbreakers for you then do try and find a more mainstream hotel to stay with. Overall, they treated me with respect and provided plenty of bathroom amenities such as soaps, towels, cups, moisturizer and a hair dryer to make my stay comfortable."
