Not as presented.

This hotel was misrepresented on the website. It was an older outdated hotel with no pool. The rooms were small and the a/c was loud. I could hear the guest in the room beside mine snore all night and the overall area of the hotel was dirty, loud and unfavorable. The staff was nice and helpful when possible. The location to our destination was the only real positive about this stay. Disappointed to say the least.
