The hotel was dirty and run down from the entrance to the rooms to the pool. Breakfast was basic and the toaster didn’t work. The carpets were so badly dirty as was the pool. I’m not sure of our sheets had been changed as there was hair on the sheet when we pulled the blanket down. We wore shoes in our room even in the shower. Very unclean.

Property was filthy! Sheets were dirty, floors were dirty and there were dead an alive bugs 2 found in bed! The water was either hot or Hades hot there was no in between. AC barely kept room cool no where near cold. Construction on our floor was loud and started early, workers blared their music with no thought to guests. Whole lobby smelled like marijuana which was being smoked in the courtyard with doors open and staff didn’t say anything! This was $400 wasted and a long weekend ruined.

I was in town for a birthday party and reserved the room at this hotel due to the proximity of the party venue. When we arrived the outside looked decent and well kept but once I walked inside I immediately was met with a moldy smell, poor lighting and very dirty carpet in the waiting/breakfast area. When I got to my room it was much of the same, weird smell dirty carpet, hair in the shower. We were supposed to have two Queens, felt like Twins. It was only for a night but if you staying anymore than that I would stay far, far away from THIS location!

Stay away

The only good thing about this place are the employees. Amazing service butttttt…. The place is run down. The carpets are stained, the couch in the room was dirty, stains, written on, and it smelled. The carpets on the hallway were horrible full of stains, we had the pleasure of running into a long term resident (roach). Out of all the places i have stayed in this is one of the worst and most run down hotels. I imagine the carpets must be the original ones installed when this place was opened, there is no other explanation. I wouldn’t stay here again even if it was free.

Terrible

Too expensive for one night for the poor condition of the rooms, we were 4 couples and it was horrible, the tubs were broken, the sinks too, some did not have cold water, to brush your teeth the water did not come out regular but super hot, the irons did not work, the elevator was horrible, the entrance keys to the room did not work, one of the couples was left out of the room without being able to enter with their things since the first time they entered the service was the one who opened it because with her key I could not, we really did not stay at all it was just to sleep and the night cost us almost $ 260 dollars and it was not possible because when we arrived at night we realized that one of the couples had been left outside and their things inside, the service could not resolve it, we had to wait until the next day at 7 am for someone to come to resolve it ... In short, it was terrible, we were tired and going through all that was not pleasant at all. I do not recommend it ***

Fool me once

I wanted to run away the moment we arrived. When you come out of the elevator (scary, slow and noisy) the carpet is disgusting, beyond dirty! Thank god the room was clean and the floor is not carpet (if it would have had a carpet I wouldn’t have stayed). I won’t stay here again unless the property gets a deep clean, a new facade and those nasty carpets get ripped out.
