Hotel was run down, room was clean but pool was full of leaves building run down. Vending machines empty. The breakfast was decent. Asked for a room facing the parking lot, that didn’t happen, asked if there was a shuttle to town was told yes but when we got there , there was no shuttle. Only on weekends. Had to ask for the room to be cleaned. Not worth 100.00 a night!

Disappointed

I was supposed to stay 2 nights and we only stayed one. We settled into our room in the evening and immediately found old fross pizza in the microwave. The cleaning lady gave me cleaning supplies so i can clean it myself and didn't offer to clean it. There were dead bugs on the phone and hair on the dressers. We went to take showers and it took 30 minutes for the water to drain. We did 2 days because we wanted to utilize the pool for an afternoon, but after seeing the condition of the pool we decided to check out. Unfortunately, no one offered to clean the room or fix the tub. I couldn't stay there another night and cut our trip short.
