Stay away from this hotel. The pictures are not what it actually looks like. The place is falling apart. The elevator to go up to the 4th floor was covered in stained cardboard. Leading into the room was construction plastic all over the hall ways. Getting inside, the shower was dirty. The air conditioning in the main bedroom was not working. The drawer to the night stand was broken. And the carpet throughout was damp. The smell was dingy and musty. Almost left before our night there but didn’t want to lose out on the cost.

The hotel itself overall was not bad. There was a gap in the door where we could see light between the door and frame. Thus we could hear everything in the hallway. Bathroom is tiny for a family room. There is nothing within walking distance so we had to have everything delivered or ride share. Breakfast was okay. Nothing to write home about. But the floors were always sticky and the elevators are not big enough to fit more than 4-5 people at at time. The room was okay, we were directly over the pool so we heard everything going on there too. Would I stay again? If we had our own vehicle maybe. Not bad on a budget but expect to make up for it other places.

Horrible staff. We tried to check-in at 06:30pm after a very long road trip. When we went to the front desk, a security told is to wait 25-30min until the recepcionist would be back from “her lunch”. Só we did, we waited for 30minutes and when we complained to her about this unusual fact (empty desk for check-in), she was rude and said:”you are free to leave”. Só we did; we booked another hotel, in the same Area. All we ask, give our money back, we did not use your bad “services” at all.

Room was clean for the most part. Only issue really was no room at the pool/Hot tub was packed out every evening. You pay for parking only if you get in late there isn't any parking. $30/night for there to be no parking is kind of insane. Staff was nice tho. Overall a decent affordable place to crash at night.

Breakfast was very disappointing—they were out of most items. I went to get a yogurt and, unfortunately, they had just run out. The only options left were cereal, milk, and tea. Even the juice machine was out of order. The pool was cold, though the hot tub was okay.

Our room furniture felt dusty. Pillows were super flat and we needed to ask for extras just for some plush. Breakfast was not great. They ran out of sausage 30min early and did not plan to make more. Sitting area was nasty and we needed to wipe down our table. Not a great experience as we had hoped. The parking was great since it was near the elevator. Elevator was under construction so it was messy in there. Not sure if wed stay there again.

The room was okay. The amenities could be improved. They say it is a full breakfast but there were basic food missing like fruits (bananas, apples). They have couple of apples and oranges left and once they were finished they never added more fruits. The cupcakes were bad, probably sitting there for couple of weeks unused. Overall, the price of room is over-priced considering the basic amenities and facilities.
