When we first walked in, I noticed a stain on the toilet seat. We were exhausted and thought it was just a discoloration or something, didn't think much of it, but to make myself feel better, I took a disinfectant wipe to wipe the seat down AND THE STAIN CAME OFF. I think it may have been blood. We didn't mention it to staff because we clearly took care of it ourselves, but still gross. There was also no soap or shampoo of any kind, so be prepared to get your own or bring your own. The shower was way too strong, and there was no way to make the water come out without blasting you, any attempts to adjust the shower head made it worse. The room we had was small, but we expected that, but the air conditioner unit was so loud it sounded like a helicopter in our room making it hard to sleep. It's also in a noisy area, this probably doesn't happen all the time, but right outside our room they were doing utility work on a Saturday morning. Then there were loud garbage trucks. The walls are extremely thin and our neighbors were loud and stayed up late; there are no phones in the room to call the front desk, and the front desk didn't have hours during that time to call on our cell, and we didn't want to potentially get in an altercation with other guests so we just tried our best to ignore their noise. Not a relaxing place to stay.

This hotel was booked as we were a day early to our resort that wasn’t available. It’s a great last minute place to stay. I would use them again.

Overpriced and underwhelming

For the money that I pay, this was not worth it. The bed was hard and extremely uncomfortable. The Air conditioner smelled like mold. The shower curtain would not stay in place and water got all over the floor. Also, the towels were flimsy and thin. Also, there’s a rooster that goes off at the crack of dawn that needs to be dealt with. I don’t like to get poor reviews, but overall, it was not a good experience.

Book somewhere else.

This hotel does NOT match the booking pictures like at all. You pull up to the hotel and immediately think "am I safely going to be able to leave my belongings and car here?". The parking is okay at best. The hotel is SIGNIFICANTLY outdated. The power will pop if you run the AC unit and hair dryer at the same time. The walls are paper thin so we could hear other couples spicy nights, the TV was bad quality, Now let me tell you about the shower. It was absolutely atrocious! You can barely fit a single person in there, there was a faucet at the bottom of a shower (without a tub!) for some reason. Because the shower is so small, you cant effectively wash certain areas, especially when the shower head wouldnt point down more than a few inches. My boyfriend is 6'2 and it wouldnt go lower than hitting his chest; Im 5'2, imagine how that is. The toilet paper was so thin that if a fly landed on it, the fly would fall through it causing it to rip. When it comes to eco friendly, yeah it is cause if you're there for 2 days youll use an entire roll of see through TP, and you'll get charged if you ask for more, their towels are old and not replaced save recycling. You can tell because the towels leave this nice annoying fuzz that sticks to everywhere on your body, and I mean everywhere. Hotel just isn't worth staying at again. Look for something a little nicer. I promise you; its worth the few extra bucks.
