Smelled like mold, or the pool. Damp. Garbage in garbage, tub dirty on sides, and no washcloths. They doubled charged me as well n screwed up my whole trip.
Staff is amazing, Very welcoming!
Room was great although we had mice & roaches other that breakfast was good. Washer & dryers don't work
Pool is nice but dirty needs lots of chlorine hahaha😂
Good selection for food & drinks in the little store they have...
This hotel is not maintained and was very dirty. Toilet was leaking under the seal (meaning sewage), roaches in the room, smoke from an adjacent room, and non functioning light switches. Do not stay here!
Easy location and friendly staff.
Minor quibbles. The outside door is not ideal, but it's the trade for a long bed. No freezer section of the in room fridge.
We were given a room that wasn't clean, followed by a room that had someone else in it, then a room with water coming out from under the bathroom tile(where we had unpacked all our stuff), then had to lug everything down to a different room that didn't have black water coming out from under the tile. Just to have a bathtub that didn't drain while showering and were told it was the old plumbing. We stayed 3 nights, the second and third nights we had to have our room keys reset because they didn't work anymore. Breakfast during the weekdays was a joke. The only positive was we didn't have to pay for snacks because of how awful our rooms were.
Total disappointment! The room was filthy and bug infested. The shower/ tub was cracked and we couldn’t use it. The pool was filthy, I didn’t trust not showering. They were supposed to change us rooms, told us twice to come back later.. The third time we tried they said they were full and there wa son other rooms. The new hotel clerk said nobody told her. Whole staff was rude about the situation. We left our vacation a day early because I couldn’t stand being there.
Sheets were very worn drywall dust in random parts of the room shower didn’t work in my room pubic hair in the sheets in the room my son was in! told front desk about the shower issue they offered no resolution

The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade. All the old dirty carpet must be ripped up and replaced with tile and the entire place needs a new coat of brighter paint.
