Disliked: Amenities
This place was the pits of absolute hell! NO AIR-CONDITION- drug smell throughout the facility.. the pool is nothing like the photos and nothing worked. 1 singular person working July 4th weekend. No management, no fans, had to call security over a domestic dispute in the adjacent room. Security did absolutely nothing because he said he didn’t see the male hit the female.. so he made the recommendation to them to “lower their voice” if I could give the the opposite of 5⭐️ it would be negative infinity . This is a place of misdeeds and zero accountability.. absolute filth!

Bugs, bugs, and more bugs!

Upon arriving there was a mix up with my reservation, they had a new girl training a new girl who accidentally booked someone else under my reservation. Took about 15 min to fix but all was well. As we got settled in we found a tick in our room and the more we looked the worse it got. The room was infested with bugs. We were switched rooms but the room we received was a little outdated compared to the one we were in. The pool is super small and dirty. There were all kinds of bugs and even roaches everywhere! It was super uncomfortable to swim in. On top of all of that, the hot tub was broken and the there was no towels. The pictures online lie! The hotel isn’t as nice as it seems. I have had better experiences at motels 6’s. Smh.

Great Hotel for the Price

Great hotel for the price point compared to others in the area. The staff were helpful and accommodated my request for a late checkout at noon. There was a security officer stationed in the parking area that checked incoming visitors and watched over the vehicles, which provided some peace of mind as well.
