Trash. Floor tiles coming up in the bathroom pinching your feet and rocking around. Carpet sticky like cotton candy. Toilet wouldnt flush. No dresser for my clothing. Hot tub shut.down and boarded up. Juice machine at breakfast out of order. So if the room is trash....the spa area is trash and the breakfast experience is trash...im going to rate the overall experience as trash. Supet disappointed with the mosy expensive hotel in town.

The carpets are not very clean it had a musty smell and the elevator was not very clean companies have contracts with this hotel therefore are very many contractors which give it that commercial flare, my room had a musty and pee smell in a corner figured it was a dogs pee smell being its pet friendly but I had to go and get a room freshener to get the room to smell am lil better its ok i guess and semi decent i have to say the bed was comfy but the hotel is a lil old i guess and then being that contractors go in and out from work makes a lil run down.

Our specific room I guess was next to a maintenance closet, the vibration from the equipment could be felt in our room, shook the wall and couch. The pool was cold for being indoor, and was pretty dirty with sand. The room itself was decent other than that and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Horrible

The carpet is dirty and torn. The floor underneath is lumpy. The floor tiles inbthe kitchen and especially the bathroom are cracked and loose. The couch is dirty, sagging and old. The elevator is small, and old, and you can feel it slipping. That was really concerning. Broken glass window at the pool. They put $50 on my card for incidentals, I'm heading down there for a credit.
