Staff were very friendly. The hotel was newly renovated but you could still tell that it was an older hotel. It was mostly clean. The beds and the bedding were very comfortable. The coffee was good. Parking was fine at least ut was free unlike some of the other hotels in town! We enjoyed our stay.
Very loud when we got to our room at midnight with all the people outside one guy was playing guitar and singing and was super loud so we left since we knew we wouldnt be able to sleep there.
stains on the sheets, roaches in the bathroom, the shade over the window does NOTHING for privacy. there’s a huge gap under the door. The noise outside is disturbing
The room was nasty the bed had stains all over them their was roaches in our room we couldn’t use the microwave because it looked like someone had been cooking drugs in it
This is by miles the worst place I've ever booked. Roaches everywhere in the room as soon as you walk in the room. Two of them crawled on me. Nipple piercings on the floor in the bathroom. Obviously hadn't been cleaned in months. Everything was covered in dust and there was ramen noodles all around the microwave. I immediately checked out and requested a refund. I was denied and told because i was there for 20 minutes I couldn't get a refund. Also, the location listed on the map is completely wrong. DO NOT STAY HERE
I refused to stay there the floor was bare concrete . It smelled horrific, like smoke. There were cigarette burns on furniture. It was not what was shown on website totally used puctures from somewhere else.
Nothing to like room smelt moldy. Lots of young adults hanging out in the parking lot were noisy. Hotel should be gutted all mold removed & do something with the bare cement floor .
Pool was dirty, hallways smell bad, room had roaches and dirty, and online it said hotels was 7min from aquarium andnit was actually 25min... i will not go back to this motel

For a few dollars more, I could have showered.
The shade did not fully block the window. They tried to put a fancy shade but it did not really block the window. Would prefer the dark curtain. Felt people could see in the room. The floor was like a warehouse concrete floor. Not attractive. The shower had black dirt/mold all around the seams. I could not easily reach the faucet as there was only one sliding door. I could not get hot water,even after I managed to reach the faucet. Since the shower was dirty, I decided not to shower. No towel rack for shower. No coffee maker! The bedside lamp flickered on and off. Air conditioner was noisy. The bed and linens were good.
