Pillows were filled with a batting of some sort. Toilet was super low. No one came to clean the room or empty trash on a daily basis. Pot was smoked in room above us. Noise level was terrible. People talking very loud all night. Kids running around, hopping on beds and up and down stairs all night. Could not wait to leave. Felt very unsafe there.

Pillows were dirty. No room service. Main hall to the pool consistently smelled of Marijuana. Bathroom door did not close. Balcony door lock was broke. The toilet seat belonged in a skid row gas station. Won't make this mistake again. Lesson learned.

They could not find my reservation so we had to downgrade. They only had biscuits and gravy, apples, and waffles. The rooms are outdated. Shower curtain and bar in shower not attached well.

Two mornings the gravy was so thin you could have used a straw! Wifi was non-existent in our room. One day I connected to Wifi in the lobby but when I returned to my room, Wifi dropped.
