The smoking area was not the best. The cans for cigarette butts were almost full. There was some kind of plywood covered in outdoor carpet covering a trench that had been dug.

This hotel is super old and outdated. Cleaning isn't the best. Stains on the lampshades, walls, ceiling. Room looks nothing like the photos they use. There were no bugs or anything but it's not a nice hotel. Only reason I booked this hotel is because of the dining options across the parking lot. Getting towels for the pool and extras for our room was very hard to do. It seemed like the staff didn't want to give us any. Also pool closes at 9pm so that sucks as well. I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here again. It's passable but barely
