the facility was full of mold. The first room I checked into had no hvac and the mini fridge had leaked all over the floor. The second room there was sand in my bed upon check in, the shampoo conditioner soap was empty upon check in, the chair was not in good condition, dirty bandaids on the floor. The entire hotel was in very run down, dirty condition.

It would be hard to make this hotel any nastier.

Don't even know where to start. Mold everywhere. Dirty sheets, dirty towels. Bugs. TV didn't work. AC didn't work. No hot water. This place is an absolute dump. Avoid at all costs.

Nope!

Absolutely awful. Paid for balcony rooms, wouldn’t open, moved to a second room and it was even worse. We left, told we would be refunded. Immediately communicated with hotels.com though chat, as only option, and they told me it could be cancelled and that it was. Of course, it wasn’t. I expected that, I get refund policies. Don’t stay here unless you are confirmed a renovated room and, even then, I wouldn’t hold my breath. It’s a shame, great view.
