False advertisement. Nasty hotel.

It was awful. The room wasn't ready until 4 PM. The tub was so gross I wouldn't wash my feet in it. The floors were sopping wet. The bed covers were from the 1980s. The picture on the website is 100% false. This wasn't the room at all! The pool was the smallest I've seen. My son's Walmart pool is bigger. The water in the 1980's hot tub is brown! No cots were available upon request (because I didn't want to put my luggage on the nasty floor).

Where do I start? Room was not the one I paid for. Was not ready by 4pm. Staff was helpful but overall experience was just not it! AC was not working properly. Also they put a family upstairs with dogs and all we heard was running back and forth. Worst experience ever. Will not recommend or go back. We were refunded the difference from the room I purchased from the room I was given. But it was an inconvenience.
