Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here and there was blood , eye liner , and hair on the sheets. As well the room smelled pretty bad like rotten eggs. Also there was no conditioner amongst other things. Not including the homeless people outside your balcony fighting and acting like zombies at 3:00 am. We reached out to " Jacob " One of the managers and all that was done was he gave us a $40 off refund. Not worth this stay at all when you are spending over $200 for a one night stay. Not safe for children and just not a great experience.

The swimming pool and jacuzzi were extremely dirty. Complimentary breakfast was uninspiring. Waffles and bananas along with juice and coffee. Not pleasant if staying for 3 days as we did. Room cleaning every 3rd day was shocking and we were very disappointed 😔
