"WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!!"
I absolutely hated this trip due to the room we stayed in. We counted approximately 14 bugs (roaches) in our room. There was nasty mold in the bathroom. The room was filthy when we arrived. Bad odor, although it was a non-smoking room. I had to go and get a vaccum from the office and vaccum myself because the floors were filthy with visible trash and dirt. This wasn't a trip for me to clean, it was supposed to be vacation. If I wanted to clean, I would have just stayed home. We had to change our own sheets. One particular nosey maid kept staring through our window at us. The maids were awful. We had NO "do not disturb" signs in our room, therefore we got woke up early to a rude maid after driving a 10 hour trip to get there. WE WERE TIRED!!! She got rude because there was no sign on the door, which we had no sign in our room, to put on the door. What was we supposed to do, make our own? My husband cut his foot, (which brought blood) on a sharp object pertuding up in the kitchen area. The burners on the stove would not even boil water, therefore we had to go and buy a $40 crock pot skillet to cook our food. We just did not have a good experience on this trip except for the time we spent out of this room. The hotel manager has all of the complaints wrote down and pictures have been made. I would love to get a full refund or promised a better hotel for 2 nights the next time we come back, which we are planning to come back before summer ends. The $200 + we spent for 2 nights on this room, we could have got something a whole lot nicer and would have had a better trip. Thank you NaTosha Davis

Didn't even get to stay there
We got there at midnight the day of our wedding and there was no one there! Sat there for almost 2 hours and noone ever showed up when called the next day the attendent at the desk said there was someone there the whole night which was not true I have pictures and a manager from the hotel next door that can confirm that the office was locked and the lights where off and it has a sign in the door that even says 24 hour service.

icky feeling carpet & funky smells
It was quiet which was nice but the room service came around way too early. We said no thank you because we were showering and getting dressed. When we got back that night nothing had been done to our room. Basically the whole time we were there our room was never cleaned. I had to go to the front desk and ASK for clean towels. If you're just passing through town this place is fine but I don't suggest that you stay more than one night...oh yeah, if you like to hear sirens at all times of the day & night this is totally the place for you!
