Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was in terrible condition. The carpet was so grimy that I had to wear shoes inside to keep my feet from getting dirty. The sink barely functioned and the water temperature in the shower was impossible to control. My friend was in the room next door, and his room was recently renovated. It had the same issue with the water in the shower, but otherwise was fine. I asked the desk clerk if they were in the process of renovating the hotel and he told me that there were renovating one room at a time very slowly and he didn't know which rooms were renovated. The worst part was the very disagreeable young woman in the office. When I tried to extend my stay, she was unhelpful and uncooperative. When I became impatient at 3:00 in the afternoon when she told me that there were no rooms ready, despite the fact that it was mid-week and there were only about 5 cars in the entire parking lot, she became extremely defensive and threatened to call the police if I didn't leave. I went next door to the Motel 6 where I got a cleaner, more functional room for less than half what they were asking at Caliente Tropics. We have stayed at Caliente Tropics several times, and I was here this time with 4 other couples, so you would expect better customer service. I have dealt with others at the front desk who were very professional, but this young woman, who refused to tell me her first name, has no business in any job that requires customer service skills. None of us will be back.

Liked: Cleanliness
Have stayed here many times and have to say the place is in need of some TLC. The rooms getting a bit worn out and could use some attention. A biker convention took over the property for the weekend… 😩. Noise level was unacceptable and it seemed no one wanted to address it. Really want to rate higher, but afraid this place is headed in the wrong direction.

The room was ok the tv didn’t work they transferred us to a suite that was not clean so they had to transfer us to another room. That was OK. We have stayed there several times and this time was just OK. We will probably choose a different hotel next time.

This is an older hotel, fairly well kept. The room showed signs of being worn, such as patches in the ceiling. One of the beds had a stain on the bedspread. The big problem was that the walls seemed paper thin, as we could hear the guys next door early into the morning hours, but they were not being loud or boisterous.
