Terrible.

Can’t say much about the appearance. It’s an older unit but it smells pretty rancid. Carpet could probably use replacing. I’m assuming that’s where most of the foul smell is coming from. First night we stayed at this hotel, I couldn’t sleep well due to me scratching all over my body and so did my wife. Hotel also ran out of body wash. Couldn’t call someone from the reception because they were already close so nobody to call. Had to go out and bought some from the store. In the morning when my wife and I got up, we decided to book a room at a different hotel. We didn’t want to spend our mini vacation being frustrated and unhappy staying at this hotel and be uncomfortable. Management didn’t want to give us any refund when we tried asking for one thru hotels.com customer service. Please stay away from this hotel.

The property was very nice and the service at check-in was great. The unit we had was not up to par and had many broken things, dirty carpet and dirty and stained balcony furniture. Wifi only worked about 15% of the time. We were not really satisfied with the unit. The bedroom with the bunkbed in it would be great for kids, but it’s not good if you have another couple with you.

I recommend packing your own knives if you decide to cook, as I did during my stay. The kitchen knives were unsafe to use as they were rather dull, bring your own knives. The dishwasher was full of clean dishes, which we found to be a tad annoying. All else was exceptional.
