My stay

The one thing I was really confused about was the lighting. Didn’t see many switches but had lamps. Bed was very good, shower was kinda smallish, I had sufficient space and it was a very sufficient place.

The worst experience.

This was a family trip for our kids to swim and it was absolutely disgusting. From the room to the pool, it was an absolute disgrace. The pool floor was covered in sunflower seeds and our room had obviously previously been a birthday party as old balloons and tape was everywhere. Would never stay again.

Horrible experience! Upon arrival desk clerk nowhere to be found. Waited 10 minutes to check in. Have us a pool side room We didn't ask for. Got woken up at 9 am by screaming kids in pool. 1st room neither door locks worked. Called Maintenance. Gone for the night. Security couldn't help.light by door wouldn't turn off. Security couldn't believe it.Hot tub filled with brown scum. Pool was cloudy with stuff floating in it.2nd room door didn't lock. Manager was busy on her cell phone and no help. Finely had to switch rooms at 12:30am. Next morning me desk Clem was nasty and didn't want to help. I came corporate and complained. Regional manage called me and apologized. We got upgraded room and they even moved us whole we were out. 3rd room was better but it was accessible (i use wheelchair) but bed was so tall i had hard time getting in it. I'm 4'10" and use a wheelchair. King bed was super hard. District manager tried to help but you can't change the past. I have pics but it won't let me load them

Decent for quick night sleep only.

You get what you paid for. It is cheaper than some of the other hotels in the area. The furniture needs to be replaced, the leather was peeling off the chair in the rooms, there were a number of chipped paint on the walls and even the tub had terrible scratches on it. In onenof the rooms we booked, the tub drained very slowly. Even the furniture in the lobby were worn out, again the leather were peeling off and made the brown chairs look like they had spots. No towels in the pool for the kids. Most likely not going back for another family stay.

The beds were torture racks. The Housekeeping NEVER cleaned in the 4 days we were there. We had to ask for trash to be collected as they were overflowing, and for toilet paper, towels, tissues to be replaced. There were vagrants lurking around the property trying to get in when we entered or left. The parking area was full of huge potholes/broken concrete and broken glass. I would not stay here again!
