This hotel is wrongly rated as 3-stars and needs to be re-evaluated. The overall hotel is in a dilapidated state. The first room I was given (#317) had molding on the ceiling and by the windows. This room is a clear health hazard. I asked to be moved to another room and got (#314). The writing chair was broken, which was later replaced. The tank of the toilet was broken and leaning forward, and the handle of the flush was broken, making me lift the lid and readjust it every time. Despite putting in a complaint, it was not resolved during my two-night stay. The photos of the bathroom are inaccurate; they are not upgraded as shown and are missing the most basic of amenities for a 3-star hotel. Other inconveniences included loud noise from the AC unit all night, the AC unit is next to the writing desk blasting cold air making it uncomfortable to get any work done, no luggage rack, no towel racks (you could see the holes in the wall where they might have been), no bodywash in the dispenser that I realized in the morning during the shower, and I had to call and wait an hour for someone to bring some to my room. The overall condition of the room was in a sad state (peeling paint, uneven floor). The only saving grace is the location, but there are other hotels in the area, and I would not stay here again.

My rental was towed from the property. I believe they should have a better system for there towing contract. A list of cars and tags should be supplied to the towing company once you're checked in. $305 for towing on vacation is horrible.

I think some simple fixes would have made my stay better: smiling faces on staff, usb outlet in room, cleanliness of pool, pest control outside, some better landscaping, better breakfast items, cleanliness of patio area and front bench area... positives were great housekeepers (room refresh), good value for room and room amenities and location!
