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!

The rooms were nice. Pool was clear and clean. Gym works fine. Lobby and entry really nice. My one and only complaint is the breakfast. Management should be embarrassed that they are charging people $21 for a breakfast that you get at a budget hotel for free. Not even worth half the price. Would be 5 stars except that issue.

We stayed here last weekend and the hotel is very nice. On the picture on the website it shows that there are lounge chairs and tables with umbrella, which is truly not accurate. The water feature on the pool was not on which took away from the ambience. The pool is very nice. It just needs to have someone out there to turn on the equipment and ensure it is running and working properly. Aside from all that I would definitely stay here again. I just hope they fix these items to make my stay a little more pleasant and comfortable, especially with the lounge chairs.

The room was extremely comfortable. My only dislike was in the pictures of the hotel. The swimming pool had a waterfall and Jacuzzi the waterfall did not work nor did the Jacuzzi other than that. It was a beautiful property. The staff was great thank you Maria.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and the cleanliness for the room was decent. However, the overall condition of the property and surrounding area left a lot to be desired. The facilities seemed outdated, and the area felt a bit unsafe and inconvenient. I also noticed limited dining options and noisy surroundings due to construction in the area. With a few upgrades and better maintenance, this hotel could be much more enjoyable.
