The views and location were great but I had a major leak coming from the floor above me thru the light fixture in my unit and when I complained about it all that was done was a guy mopped it and took a picture, they don’t move me or try to really help or reassure me of anything I didn't know if it was safe to turn lights on or off and what not, there was no communication I was told I would be contacted by the owner/manager and never was, ultimately I was really disappointed with my stay and would like my money back but I know that’s not gonna happen

Room was dirty, furniture old and stained and unit in disrepair. Shower curtain did not even go around and water went everywhere. Not to mention we only had hot water the last night we were there. Front desk woman was rude, not to me but to other guests as we were checking in. Our room was right next to The Palace and was loud until 4am. AWFUL Property!

Hotel claims to include things that are NOT included. Be prepared to pay $100-300 extra for incidentals before check out. The receptionists are not from the hotel but contracted through an outside company so they can do Nothing to answer any questions or offer any help.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

The first 2 nights of stay my room keys never worked and I was always locked out of my room. THEY CHARGE $15 FOR HOUSEKEEPING TO CLEAN YOUR ROOM! Which is ridiculous because that is expected at all hotels to be complimentary! There is always someone different working the front desk and they never know what’s going on and NEVER communicate with each other. I asked for fresh towels and sheets multiple times and NEVER got them. There are NO pool towels available, if you want them you have to pay a deposit. Oh and every morning there is a loud cleaning crew power washing to grounds outside to wake you up around 8 or 9am. The only thing good about this hotel was the location.. that’s it. This place is the WORST HOTEL I’VE EVER STAYED IN!

There was not any room cleanings.! The sliding doors didn’t lock, it was a dirty room.! The beds were barely big enough for two.! And they were very uncomfortable.! Plus it reaked of marijuana and people yelled all night in the motel.!

The hotel was filled with gnats flying everywhere. The shower head had so much calcium or scum not sure what it was but it looked gross. The blinds had dead gnats trapped in them. The elevator stayed broke the entire 4 days we were there. Housekeeping never came to clean our room or bring clean towels we had to ask for these things. The pictures on the internet were deceiving.
