**Grungy and Dirty**

1. Was made to pay a $100 CASH ONLY DEPOSIT upon check-in. We used THEIR on site ATM for a $2 fee (+) my bank charged me $3 to use the hotel's ATM. Why can't they put the $100 deposit on my credit card like every other hotel? 2. Parking lot is SUPER SKETCHY with night persons walking the lot at ALL hours of the night. 3. Parking is SUPER TIGHT. There aren't enough parking spaces, so people are creating their own parking spaces by parking along the pool fence, parking along the fence by the check-in office, parking in spaces that say "no parking," etc. 4. The room flooring was hardwood laminate, and you could feel the dingy, dirty film on the floor. I cleaned the floor by wrapping a damp towel around my foot and the towel turned BLACK. 5. Dirty, crummy lampshades full of dust and dirt. 6. Old red bedspread, which was SUPER THIN and more of the thickness of a sheet, definitely would not call it a comforter. FLAT/THIN pillows. Mattress had weird STAINS and was UNCOMFORTABLE. 7. Dingy bathroom with a cigarette burn on the toilet lid. 8. Ironing board that was rusted old metal WITH NO IRON, and NO IRONING PAD. 9. Disgusting shelf with GREASY GRIME on it. 10. Microwave and refrigerator are located INSIDE THE BATHROOM area??? 11. Wifi was spotty and had WEAK signal. 12. To be comfortable here: bring your own cleaning supplies, bring own bedding, bring own pillows, bring own washcloths (none provided-only bath towels), bring own wifi hotspot, bring own ice (icemaker is broken).

Wont be returning

While the room was very quiet, the beds were hard as rocks, the floors were nasty and sticky, they don’t have extra pillows and the ones in the room are flat, the room was so hot that it took hours to cool down. We had to open the window and the door in addition to the AC (that barely blew cold air at all). The sink was broken and the toilet was loose. All of the cabinets and drawers were either broken or the handles were missing. They asked for a cash deposit but didn’t actually check anything to get it back. Definitely won’t be returning.

They came in my home and stole things from me and the manager didn’t care, the window do not lock, the pool and room is nice but staying there is unsafe people break into your room when you leave and steal your property and when I brought it to they attention they didn’t do anything or change my room and lie and said I was fighting to be honest I need a refund. I tried to give them a chance because my love the hotel and my son love the pool, I disliked how my property was stolen and not protected, I was there for 7 days and not one time they cleaned my room when I asked the house keeper she said my room was not on the list I ask why she doesn’t understand or speak English if you purchase a room from them don’t leave the hotel because someone will come in your room and steal your property after my son left I had to leave because I was scared to sleep there by myself because I’m a hard sleeper and didn’t trust being there by myself save your money and go to a different hotel if you don’t want your property stolen from you it’s not a save hotel for you and your property I’m warning you.

I liked the hotel until my room was broken into and things were stolen from my room every time I leave the room someone or somebody's kept going in my room stealing my stuff I didn’t realize the window didn’t lock until 7 days later every time I leave the room I leave the air conditioning on when I come back the air conditioning off they stole my chain, lotion, toothpaste, baby oil, incenses, my pain medicine, my cannabis, perfume my son t- shirts and shorts and food in my refrigerator, this hotel is not safe. the front desk staff are rude and they lie on me by saying I was fighting I was not fighting anyone I was upset and yelling because every time I leave my room the window screen be bent and the window open, my son did love the pool and the room are clean, I had to leave the room earlier due to the theft and disrespect I received from the front desk lying staff I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone that’s going to leave the hotel for a long period of time, it’s crazy how I spent my money without any protection save your money.
