From desk are nice. Property is good for an overnight stay. Long term don’t recommend. You have to request housekeeping, and they don’t clean they just change towels and remove trash. Beds are comfy. Other than that breakfast is the same everyday

The room was clean. But the light outside the hotel was so bright that it kept the room quite lit at night, despite closing the curtains. I like my room dark when I sleep. Also, the air conditioning was quite loud and would wake us up whenever it would start up. The complimentary breakfast was good but on our second morning, the breakfast lady did not show up so we didn't get breakfast. We had to pay to get something elsewhere so a discount on the room price would have been nice but they did not offer that. So if you depend on that breakfast to start your day, be prepared for a plan B.

So so.

Very bright light outside our window with no curtains, only big blinds that let in the light. One set of towels. Ask for more and we were told not until housekeeping arrived, so we shared a wet towel. Came back and housekeeping left no towels. Night manager was the onpy helpful person.

When we first checked in we were given a room that wreaked of cigarettes and the pull out bed was missing the mattress. The pull out couch was filthy, the floors and bathrooms are filthy, the floors are falling apart and unsafe. There are people who live full-time in this hotel. Would not recommend this place at all.

The pool area was disgusting it was dirty when we got there and worse when we left. The ramp to our room area near the pool has anti slip tape that is ripped and wore out and is trip hazard. A young lady walking in front of me tripped and fell on this and rolled in to the gravel beside the sidewalk. I have pictures if any one cares

The photos online are staged. The units were not kept up by any means. The cheapskate things were what stuck out. First unit had zero electricity. Second unit we got the floor was coming up, holes in the walls, the door handle to the bathroom continuously fell off locking us in the bathroom (thankfully it wasn’t a solo trip) the toilet was new with the old yellow toilet seat, curtains falling down off the rods, hair on the bedroom floor that wasn’t ours, also food crumbs on the bedroom floor that also was not ours. I asked for a broom and dust pan 3x never got one. Asked for an additional towel set as there was 2 of us we only had one, we weren’t given towels or our trash even picked up till the day before we departed. When I asked the front desk to have someone come get towels and trash she asked if i wanted to get the premium package for housekeeping. Absolutely not! A basic service would’ve sufficed. The neighbors all smoke inside their units or right out front your window where it gets sucked in through the vents. Everyday we returned and the room smelt like a bar. Never will return would rather have been compensated for some of this. Ridiculous
