The property was sorta disjointed. The pool is not connected to the main building. The pool bar is independent of the hotel. The rooms are dated ! The stove in the room has to be from the 60s a coil top that looks dangerous to use. The windows in the room were filthy. The staff member at the front desk check in was either petrified of being fired or NEW. She needed help. Overall experience was meh! I personally would recommend some where else.

Hotel Website Misleading

We arrived to our room with water all over the floor from a malfunctioning fridge. All fire sprinklers in the room were rusted and questioned functionality. The room is definitely dated - small bathroom/kitchenette area. The pictures on the website are so misleading and I spent quite a lot of money for 3 night stay there. I requested fresh towels twice and ended up having to go get them myself. Balconies were rusted (see pic below). This hotel could definitely use a bit of updating.
