I like the safety of the property and very quiet. The staff were nice and the maintenance staff took immediate action when the problem came up with the bathroom shower even if it was late to make sure we were comfortable. What we didn’t like about the place was the breakfast for the last three days we were there. There was no food at all on all the warm containers; no coffee; no hot water; no bread, muffins or bagels; it was bad. There were a lot of us guests waiting for the breakfast. It was still 45 min before closing. The staff doing the food were not keeping up with the food area to ensure there were plenty for the guests to dine but all empty food containers. We had to wait for them to prepare. Took about 15 min to fill the containers, etc… Sonesta CM was the best hotel. Never experienced what we experienced in this RB location. It was a disappointment and a disgrace to guests who stayed at this facility. We’re not coming back to this hotel. The staff in the kitchen should be replaced and/or fired. They did not do a good job!!! The worst hotel to have free breakfast??? La Quinta was even better!

Room for Improvement: Not a Bad Experience

The overall cleanliness was just not top-notch. The restroom doors could have been wiped down, and the refrigerator door on the outside could have been cleaned. The inside of the refrigerator was clean. There was a pot, pans, and a stove. The room had great air conditioning and the beds were comfortable. The hallways and the area around the hotel needed more cleaning attention. The carpets needed to be vacuumed and shampooed. The outside area was destroyed by guests but was not cleaned up promptly by the staff. The guest areas (dining area, BBQ, back patio, and pool area) were uncleaned for hours, and if you tried to use the BBQ and pool area, you could not, as it was dirty. Yes, it was due to guests not cleaning up after themselves, but as a guest, I could not enjoy my stay. The breakfast was good; however, if you did not get downstairs first thing in the morning, you may not get any food. Coffee was out, and you had to ask. Making more food took a very long time. Again, this is an issue with the guest over-taking food. Overall, employees did not seem to care. I am not picky, as it was not a bad stay for us, but there is room for improvement.

The towels and surfaces were not clean. Washcloth left in shower. It was loud - seemed to be no sound barrier between hallway or outside. Poor signage such as for hours of breakfast or location of gym. Front desk staff were very polite but always a line that moved slowly. Facility has great potential - layout and amenities.

Staff super nice first of all. But unfortunately we stayed one night and left when we were booked for a week. One of their best rooms they said they had was just not acceptable. Floor was dirty to the point are bare feet were dark brown on bottoms within the first hour. The carpet was ripped in a few spots. The couch we put a sheet on it looked so dirty. A bunch of ripped areas. We got there - no toilet paper no towels. There was a bag of leftover fruit in a bag on the kitchen stool. Went to go to bed at 11 at night and I’m sure the sheets were just made and not changed. Few maybe stains… but not taking chance and also couple of hairs. They did not charge me for the night which was nice of them. I did offer to pay something but they said it’s okay. I think most of the lack of items and cleaning was maid related I know. But the floors are gross and the couch. Needs replacing. To the point I had a shower, dried my feet and put on my new shoes so the dirt on my feet from the floor wouldn’t go onto my soles of my shoes. Bed was super comfy though. Staff was very kind and thoughtful. The lobby etc very clean and looks nice. Breakfast I don’t usually go down but my husband does and having breakfast only 630-830 seems early. Most hotels go to 930 I feel. Overall I would not stay here again until they redo some rooms. Which they acknowledged they need to. Didn’t use pool or gym as I got up at 7 am to tell them we were not staying longer.

It is disgraceful that I had to sleep in a room with cockroaches for two nights. I checked in around 10pm and found the room filthy, with no shampoo refilled in the bathroom and pets urine stains on the wall. This was absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I demand a full refund or appropriate compensation immediately.

Older hotel, run by a family not professional hoteliers. I was kept waiting at the front desk to check in, no one told me why….even though I was standing in front of them. Non-existent communications. Rooms were basic, older and needed an update and/or maintenance. Wouldn’t stay there again, now I know why it was so inexpensive as compared to other hotels in the area.
