Rooms were dirty and smelled of smoke. There were holes in the walls and vomit on the bathroom wall. The pool was green and cloudy and had bubbles as if something was living in it. Filter wasn’t on. Shady people living in rooms. Rundown

I will never ever stay here ever again the staff was friendly but the place needs to be renovated. When I first got there I was immediately creeped out I felt like I was in a scary movie. I got into one of the rooms which smelled like weed and there was blood on the wall light and in the tub. The room also had traces of mold in it, and there were stains on the carpet overall would never stay there ever again would not recommend to anybody unless you absolutely need a place to stay even then I would rather sleep under a bridge or a tent.

the room was okay except a plastic grocery bag that was covering the fire alarm, and no microwave or freezer. the “heated” pool was too cold for me or my son to go in, maybe because the door from the pool to outside was open our entire stay.
