Do not stay at this hotel. There were black widow nests in the room and dead bugs. I’ve tried to get a refund but have been ignored by management. It was uninhabitable and a health concern.

It’s hard to write a review , as when we arrived to the property .. it was closed . They sent us to a different hotel . Was bummed that the new place didn’t have a hot tub . Pool was very dirty . I guess you get what you pay for so I wasn’t that disappointed.

The charge for the room was to much compared to the poor quality of the facilities. The shower mat was dirty, we had a half a pot of coffee in the coffee pot when we arrived and they didn’t even make up the room on our second day.
