Do NOT recommend. First room had dirty sheets on the bed. I asked to switch rooms and the second room had an uncleaned bathroom with mold and hair on the walls of the shower. The room also had a missing light bulb for the lamp which they said the had no extra s I asked to switch rooms again and they said they couldn’t keep switching me rooms. Even the towels “clean” and folded towels were dirty with stains and grease. The pool was also locked and they refused to open it.

During my stay, the phone in the room did not work, and the management was rude and inconsiderate. I found it dangerous to stay at this hotel because the key cards were not secure. While I was in my room, another guest accidentally opened my door with the hotel-issued card he had. He was checking in, but the hotel had given him a key card that also worked for my room. Can you imagine? I am requesting a full refund for my stay. I advise anyone considering staying at this location to do so at their own risk.

The guy behind the counter really seems to hate his job. Anything but a people person. Not even sure where to start with the review of the room…. 1) paint chipping off the wall in the bathroom 2) mold in the bathroom 3) night stand lights didn’t work. Luckily we brought an extension cord and were able to plug in one of the lights. 4) no convent outlets 5) the AC unit sounded like it was going to blast off at any minute 6) floors where dirty 7) the door into the room had light coming in from outside 8) one of the bath towels had black stains on it Definitely a waste of $101 bucks. I wish I had just sucked it up and paid another $100, for a better stay. Do not stay here!!! You definitely get what you pay for.
