It was a tropical atmosphere with smiling staff! Greeted warmly upon arrival. Offered water. Check in was smooth and I stayed in the 700 block of rooms on the ground level. Room was large with comfortable queen beds. Large bath with double sinks and a place to put my stuff. Small table with 2 chairs, double 3 drawer dressers. Very NICE! Outdoor area was beautiful and enjoyed my 3 nights there.

This is, easily, the worst experience of my life with a hotel. In fairness, I believe it was the app/site inflating the importance; do not believe the reviews. This was the first time I used them, as I was in a bind and needed something in the vicinity. It is a decent MOTEL. The staff is very friendly. Nothing else about the property is worth discussing and the rooms smell like…ammonia. (I am deleting the Hotels.com app immediately)

Maid service came at dinner time one day and not at all the next. Lots of noise from the birds which were housed next door. Assigned to a room with two doubles after booking a king bed room since TV didn’t work in king bedroom. TV went out in our room as well.

I paid $150 pet fee, $200 in resort fees, $35 in self parking. Room was not updated, no regular coffee for the coffee machine and no sugar/creamer. Breakfast not included. Security was called b/c our dog barked minimally and they took a picture of my spouses drivers license and allowed the occupant to harrass him. In total, I paid close to $1000 for one night for a regular room & one balcony view suite room with 1 bed. I will never book here again. It was a disaster and it was my Wedding honeymoon in the area.
