First, let me say this in my opinion the Sahara needs an upgrade. The room reminded me something out of the 80s with the burgundy and green. Every staff member I ran into asked if I needed anything. I would rate them as extremely friendly. Everything was clean except the walls could’ve used a wipe down. There’s no elevator but only three floors. The balcony is great on the smaller side no party ability. There’s an actual door to exit to the balcony. The bathroom was the cleanest bathroom I’ve seen. At night I could hear people talking not exactly what they were saying but aware that they were people next-door. All in all it was everything I needed for my first vacation alone. I will stay here again.

Gentleman at the front desk was great on check in. Unfortunately the room had an ant problem that we discovered around 11:00PM. We were moved to another room and our keys were updated - but the keys expired a day early and we were locked out of our room late at night. Facilities were pretty dated and worn down. While the location of this property is fair, visitors may want to look at other hotels that have invested more in maintenance.
