Hard for me to draw down on what I liked about this hotel. My college dorm room was better than this hotel room. The place was absolutely disgusting. Dirt, hair bodily fluids dried up on the floor. So guess they didn’t mop or sanitise the place. Bed linen clean but not ironed.

Great place to relax.

I think my visit to the check desk last 5 minutes. They had everything ready. We call ahead to see if we could get a room in the back of hotel away from Central Ave traffic noise. Our room over looked the pool. Restaurants all over the place great food. We walked the entire weekend to everything that we needed to do. We walked out one of the peers which was equivalently 2 1/2 miles walk, but it was a beautiful scenery all the way.

This was possibly the worst hotel experience that I have ever had . I will start off with the size of the rooms are incredibly small. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds I have ever laid in and when I asked for more pillows, I got told that they didn’t have anymore . What hotel doesn’t have anymore pillows?? The pool really isn’t a pool but literally a 9-12 inch splash pad . (Yes the pool depth is 9-12 inches not feet) but the worst part of the experience was that I couldn’t get an hour of sleep because of how uncomfortable I was . I’d go ANYWHERE else but here.
