The GM is awesome! He let me in an hour early and didn't charge me. To be honest though the TV sucks and for the money you can get more in the same neighborhood for a couple of bucks more! I Will go back if desperate, but not worth the money!

We came in the room smelled really bad. They didn't leave us any shampoo. By the time we were trying to sleep, there was nonstop car noises, people talking and partying. We decided to leave at 4am because we were not able to sleep at all. We are never going back there.

The staff were amazing and super accommodating, every interaction. The problems resided more so with the pool and the cockroaches and some other type of insect that was abundant in our room. The pool wasn’t maintained and was filthy.
