This place is very dirty. The sheets are worn, the pillows are dirty, it feels unsafe, and it smells horrible. If you have children, I don't recommend this place.

Property was in very poor repair. The room cleanliness was substandard. Cleanliness issues were likely due to the condition of the property (I.e. excessive caulking and drywall patching in bathroom looks dirty and invites pests, sink with drain clog cannot possibly appear clean, both the entry and balcony doors were rusted out, age of furnishings exceed commercial usefulness.) We did not use the pool because the water was a milky shade and had a film of some type on the surface. The staff we encountered was friendly and helpful but the lobby smelled like they had a moisture problem. There wasn’t a time we were on property to or from our room where we didn’t smell people smoking drugs. I have very low standards, but even so, I will rate this as poor because it was advertised as a family room and price per night was over $500.

Just pay the extra money for something nicer if you can. Beds hard. One pillow. Light in bathroom didn’t work. Door was hard to open. Pretty sure a drug deal happened across the street. If you do decide to stay here be safe.

nowhere did they state on-site about a $100 deposit if under 25; i wouldn’t have known at all till check in had i not called and asked. what they don’t share is that they won’t refund your deposit! was supposed to be refunded “shortly after checkout,” but days later and they won’t pick up the phone any time of day—the one time i got someone on the phone, they stated they couldn’t refund me because the hotel “didn’t have any available funds to do so.” absolute scam. not cleanly, either.
