Sadly horrible

I remember coming to this hotel a few years back, and the stay was good; the pool was clean. But this time, the stay was not so great. The bath walls had mold, the pool area was dirty, and let me not get started on the color and cleanliness of the pool. It was really disturbing seeing how dirty the pool was, with clumps of white stuff floating in it and oils floating on the surface. Mind you, it was not cleaned at all; the water was cloudy to the point that if you dived in, you would disappear. I am very upset of the money i waisted for 3 nights i couldn't even enjoy a swim.

Three star hotel

The hotel was a little run down. The pool was down for maintenance the entire week. My 8 year old was disappointed. The shower curtain was falling apart. Paint was peeling. The curtains were gross. The refrigerator froze all of our food. The location was convenient for what was needed.
