Definitely looks different than the pictures online. Beds were clean as well as the rooms. Cleaning crew had wet/dry vac running next room for 45 mins straight at 8pm. Water pressure in the shower was horrible! Worst water pressure Ive seen yet at any hotel. Besides those few things it was ok! Wouldn’t return due to the water pressure alone

We did not enjoy our stay here. Cleaning staff did replace towels daily, but the room had a dingy, run-down feel with rust and water stains on the walls. The bathroom had a barn door with a gap and no lock. The room had millipedes. There was a kitchen, but the sink is behind the wall of the bathroom and difficult to reach (see picture). We didn't find dishes until the end of our trip (in the dishwasher). Breakfast was provided but was unsavory (American cheese in an egg is an omelette?) There was only one nightstand. The pool "closes at dusk" but the bright lights over it stayed on all night. And there were prostitutes cruising the parking lot. The only good thing was the price.

I have stayed at this hotel probably 8-10 times in the past year and everytime it’s not bad. This time I saw roaches in the bathroom and then one was crawling on me when I was in the shower. I’m from Florida and thought it may be a palmetto bug but it was a regular German cockroach. I stopped at the office when I wa leaving to tell them but there were other guests there and I didn’t have time to wait to tell them. I will contact the manager when I return home.
