Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The mattress was old and stained. The stairwell was filthy. The room had a horrible stench and started to trigger my wife's asthma. The furniture was falling apart. The sofa was frayed and stained. There were ants everywhere outside. There was no elevator to the 2nd floor. They have just slapped on new paint, but it is already falling apart. I believe the stench is a disingenuous attempt to cover up the smell of the building rotting from the inside out.

Only had one light. Lamp not plugged in due to no outlets. Also no accessible for having to plug in devices or sleep aids. Toilet seat was cracked. Floors dingy and dirty. Sheets dingy. Way overpriced for room and amenities. Pool looked nice. Reminded me of a cheap roach/budget motel room. Definitely not “resort/palace” worthy. Save your money and do an Air B and B. Also have a “NO REFUND” sign so as soon as your checked in your out of your money.
