This was possibly the worst hotel experience that I have ever had . I will start off with the size of the rooms are incredibly small. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds I have ever laid in and when I asked for more pillows, I got told that they didn’t have anymore . What hotel doesn’t have anymore pillows?? The pool really isn’t a pool but literally a 9-12 inch splash pad . (Yes the pool depth is 9-12 inches not feet) but the worst part of the experience was that I couldn’t get an hour of sleep because of how uncomfortable I was . I’d go ANYWHERE else but here.
