Disgusting hotel
That was the most disgusting hotel I have ever been in. The air conditioner was so loud. I had to turn it off then the toilet wouldn’t flush. I was told that there would be water, tea or coffee and the staff when I asked said no. The staff were absolutely well. They ignored you so it was horrible. I don’t recommend them at all. I think Hotels.com needs to look into this mess

STAY AWAY
This place should be condemned. Room is filthy, roaches everywhere, not to mention it isn't up to code. There was no smoke detector on the wall, the plugged in lamp by the bed had exposed wires and they couldn't even be bothered to hang the curtains up completely. You couldn't pay ME enough money to stay here again.

The hotel was disgusting and full of black mold. The entire property was under construction and the smells of paint thinner and chemicalsfumes in the indoor halls were so strong that it made us lightheaded just trying to get to our room.

Terrible!
I understood it was being renovated but in my opinion it’s not suitable for booking at this time. The walls and tub in the bathroom were very damaged. There were roaches everywhere on the furniture and some in the walls. The air conditioner stunk when turned on and the room itself had an awful smell. I waited 20 min to get checked in with no apology for the wait time. Not worth the price! It was terrible!!!

Totally disgusted.
The hotel was under renovations which was not advertised on the website. The room Head molding coming off the walls. We were in our room and somebody else used it there key to get in our room and it unlocked the door. And due to the renovations the pool was closed And so was the continental breakfast. The room I stayed in the shower. Bar was not attached to the wall. And I got one towel. Then I had an unexpected family emergency. And I had paid for the whole week and only been there one night. And they refuse to give me a refund. I would not recommend this hotel

The hotel has a very good location but the cleanliness is poor. The room was only cleaned once in a 6 night stay. There were cockroaches in the room. The pool was not available and there was no breakfast. They only had coffee in the lobby but it was not always available. I had visited the hotel in previous years but found it to be in disrepair.

Horrible experience
The hotel stay was the worse experience I've ever have with a hotel, yes it was cheaper then normal but the pictures of this hotel were lies. The toilet was hard to flush my wife found bed bugs and not to mention the beds were very uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.
