I’ve stayed before and it was excellent. The bathroom was dirty, the floor in the room was sticky. It was not at all maintained. I tried calling the front desk to ask a question and the person who answered said “I don’t know” and hung up. A disappointing experience.

Room was nice, very spacious and clean! Pool was warm and a nice size - but could be cleaner but I am sure it is hard to keep a pool clean with that many guests every day. Overall better than my expectations! Great location and clean room

I would stay again

Room was a good room. It could have been a little cleaner. The floor could have been cleaner and the chairs had spots and stains. The air conditioner had a very off smell. However, the bed was clean and the bathroom was also acceptable as well. Staff was very friendly.

Our shower didn’t work when we got there but the staff were on it. They fixed it fast and we had no problems. The elevator is a slow and a bit scary.

Not pleased.

There was spider in the bathroom in the ceiling. The paint was pilling in the bathroom ceilling by the vent The bathroom is extremely small. The toilet had old urine on the back toilet by the seat cover. You didn't see it until you let the seat cover down. The clerk was not really friendly at check in. The hard wood floors was loud when you walked on it. The suite bedroom doesn't even have a door to separate the rooms.

Needed a quick place to stop and sleep for a few hours. We did not have time to check out any amenities or the area as we arrived late and left early. We had no issues with the property.
