Leah

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room itself looked as thought it was I. The middle of revamping. Hot tub outdated. Jets barely gave any sort of massage. No chairs just small table and bed. Top drawer of cabinet for clothes didn’t open and the light outside of the room flickered constantly throughout the night. You can hear everything all around. Best thing was the shower head in the bathroom.

The room was practically bare and the floors were covered with debris and stains. The beds were awful, the fan in the bathroom didn’t work so we had a ton of humidity and condensation, the parking was atrocious, the pool and hot tub were closed. There was trash everywhere and extremely sketchy people just posted there at all hours of the day.

Not as it appears on pictures

Photos of the hotel are not like the actual place. Everything seems older and kept unwell. There was a particular chair in the room extremely dirty and scratched up. Labeled as a hotel but seems more like dirty apartments. Area is very sketchy as well.

Deceitful Photos!

What a deceit of an advertisement. Whoever took the photos knew what they were doing. Picked time of day and perfect angles to avoid showing the reality of this place. Sketchy neighborhood. Sketchy building. Seemed some folks probably lived there?? Sketchy folks outside as well. This is NOT somewhere you want to being the kids to. The room was rundown and not very clean. Cheap patchwork on the walls. Sticky remotes. What a horrible experience. We stayed one night because our drive got us there late, but immediately request cancellation and refund of our 2nd night. Found something elsewhere.

No Hot waters.....

So my only issues would be that the gas line was damage and they didnt let there customer know nor did they accommodate for the hot water being out. I end up paying for another night and didnt get no discounts or anything for the hot water.
