Tried to check in at 4 but room wasn't ready, had to wait about 15 extra minutes but no big deal, however our room didnt have hot water. Other than that, we had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, the pool was great and my granddaughter loved the toddler pool! Very quiet and bed was comfortable. All in all, great location and fantastic price! Would stay here again.

Two sets of guests - same room

Another guest was given keys to our room and walked right in at 1am!! It could have been dangerous and it was very awkward. Then when my husband had gone out our own keys wouldn’t work and we had to get them reactivated.

Door was broken had to enter the key 5 or more times to get in my room. TV was broken WiFi was bad for me could barely use it to do anything. Nowhere as clean as it looks when you’re booking it from the internet. pictures don’t match! Talked to staff about some of the issues. It was basically just deal with it. Which is fine but for the price would expect better. Personally I would not stay there again!

The Lobby and surrounding area was shabby and odorous. Mattress was soft and old. Office chair was in bad shape. Decorating was cheap. Hotel was old and maintenance was fair.
