Had a late flight and needed a place to spend a few hours. Chose this hotel on pictures of pool area and price. Pool pictures were highly deceptive - shows lounge chairs in photo, but reality is 4 beat up seating chairs and a rickety table.

Within 2 hours of being there, we left!!! It was really dirty in the halls and in the rooms. Went to go shower, mold in shower and the water went from cold to hot. Tried to adjust for over 10 minutes. Then kids wanted to swim right when we got there. Pool was dirty, wasps flying around, water was cloudy, and patio furniture was broken. Riding up the elevator and it was rough and made a lot of noises. The inspection sheet by the state that was on the elevator was expired on Aug 1st 2023. Almost two years out of date. Ice maker was also broken. Do Not Waste Your Money!!!

The staff at check in was nice however, I encountered a roach crawling on the long mirror that I had to kill in the morning and when I went to tell that staff she just said ok wrote something down and that was it. Made me feel like I didn’t matter. If that would have happened the night before I would have left and not even stayed.
