We checked in, saw the room and checked right back out. The room smelled of mold and mildew, the plumbing didn’t work (toilet wouldn’t flush), there was holes in the comforter and there was bugs crawling on the wall INSIDE the room.

A very unpleasant smell and a dirty restroom; when we went to the pool area—despite the fact that I was with a small child—an employee was smoking marijuana. It was a horrible experience; I really do not recommend it.
