An hour after I checked in, someone walked in my room when I was gone and my key didn’t work on my return to the room. They told me I checked out an hour after I checked in. Said they gave my room to someone else.

Over charges
The stay was fine, but I was charged for two nights instead of the one night I stayed. The front desk person assured me his manager would take care of it in the morning. Two weeks and many phone calls later from both myself and hotels.com and they insist the error is on hotels.com’s end. It’s not. The extra charge is directly from the hotel and no matter how many people I speak to, the money will not be refunded. I’m extremely disappointed and would not recommend staying here. I’ve never experienced a business insisting there’s nothing they can do “on their end” when the charge is directly from then.

I booked this property specifically because it was listed on Expedia that they had an airport shuttle. They have not offered this service since 2020 I was told. Luckily a nearby hotel allowed us to use their shuttle for airport transfer.

Smells like cigarettes SO bad!
It smelled so bad like an ash trey that we had to leave early. To get to the hotel elevators you have to walk past the bar, resturants and casino so to get to the pool from the hotel you also have to walk past all the restaurants, bar and casino. This is NOT a place to stay to swim nor should you never stay with children bc of the cigarettes smell. The manager scott was absolutely no help, and the girl that check us in was bouncing like she was high, and had a face tattoo. We were only there for an hour to swim then left. We will never come back.
