Shady place. We were only there for two hours and then we left. A lady who looked like a drug addict talked to me just outside our room while I was unpacking my car. Two cop cars showed up to the lobby looking for someone. I asked them if this was a decent hotel or is it shady? They both said it’s shady and they would not stay here! After that, someone came up to our door and was jiggling the handle to see if it was locked! On top of that, my room was really hot and uncomfortable. All this happened in less than two hours. I was not comfortable staying at this place with my wife and young child.

Please give me a refund so I can redo my vacation!

The room we had was not properly cleaned. It smelled like pee from the time we walked in. I literally used an entire can of Lysol to spray the bathroom down , the bed and sheets as well as the single lounge chair that was available. It looked as if someone wasted an entire can of soda pop in it and let it air dry. The door that corrects to the adjacent room had been unlocked so I had to re lock iand the guest in that room had kids so we heard EVERY WORD they said to each other ALL NIGHT Long!! This was probably the WORST overnight stay I have ever experienced and I’m 52 years old and have traveled to South Africa, Dubai, Jamaica and MANY locations state side! This was the worst and at over $360 for the night the MOST EXPENSIVE.!!
