A few of the staff members as well as I lost money in the vending machines and then the front desk girl originally said 3 PM. I tried to explain my aunt has Alzheimer’s, but within minutes, Joe was rudely banging on the door as if he was law enforcement told me I don’t care that you’re not dressed. I don’t care that you don’t have your teeth in get out. But once I got my things out of the room with a threat of calling the police, I feel grateful at least at the end of the day. They kept my things safe and I appreciate that very much.

You have been warned

No towels by pool. Room is dingy and rundown. Water was out for a few hours in room. Could not wash hands, shower or flush toilet. Looks more like a motel than a hotel. Pictures not an accurate representation of what it actually looks like. Will never stay there again
