The room was clean and recently remodeled, so good. But the TV didn't work, the towel rack fell down, the door card reader mostly didn't work. The heater/AC read-out didn't work, so fun trying to guess how to set the heat. The bed matrass was extremely thin, I could go on. Also no one to complain too and when I did did find someone, nothing happened. So, not recommended.

I have stayed in some questionable properties before and I can honestly say this was the worse property I have ever stayed at. It is a large property probably 130 or so rooms most of the property is being used for full time residences and everything on the back 2/3 of the property looks like a homeless encampment. Broken down car's, trash and garbage everywhere. We were traveling with a small dog and circled the property looking for somewhere for her to go to the bathroom. Every piece of grassy area was completely covered in dog feces to the point my dog refused to go onto the grassy area's. We had to walk off propery to a lawn at another hotel where she immediately went on the grass and went. There were people out wandering around the property at all times. DO NOT COME TO THIS PROPERTY YOU WILL REGRET IT. A message to Expiedia you do not want to be associated with this property. Send someone to check it out and you will see.
