The property is ok. The pool & restaurant & Tiki bar have good food and a nice view of the pool. The rooms are in terrible need of upgrades. The furniture is old & dilapidated. The shower in our room was completely nonfunctional. Additionally, they charged us twice for the room. The property needs serious updating.

Starting with a positive, we were able to get an early check in without a problem. The staff at the desk were all very nice. But I've never been so deceived by expedia hotel photos. The room photos are light, bright and colorful, clearly renovated and the flooring in the photos appeared to be laminate. The room I got had red carpet, popcorn ceilings and everything in sight was old. I will say it was clean though. The bed did not have a blanket nor was there one in the closet. The shower went in and out of hot/cold. There was no heater. Thankfully we were not in the room much. It was just a place to sleep while in the area.

Dingy, door was broken, sink was clogged and grimy, bath towels were all stained, shower water would not hold temperature, vending machines were empty. I had booked two nights, but left after the first night despite the hotel not willing to provide refund for the second night.
