Desk person was prickly and talked so fast, couldn't understand her, rattling off instructions, but never bothered to tell us we need a key for the elevator. Our room was actually .25 mile from the elevator and couldn't sleep past 5:00 a.m. because we were right over the loading dock. Pool area was nice but water wasn't heated so too cold to get in. I'll definitely stay somewhere else next time.

The hotel is rundown; the common areas are unclean; the elevator smelled; there were fake eyelashes glued on the elevator doors; the walls in the rooms had dents and scratches. Worst of all was the staff, extremely unfriendly, rude, zero sense of hospitality. The pictures look great but the experience is the total opposite; it’s a scam. am walls in the rooms have

Alarm woke us up at 3:30am telling us to go downstairs and not to use the elevator for an emergency. Then staff came over the intercom for like 5 minutes saying there was a malfunction or error with their alarm system to disregard. Scared me out of a dead sleep. They charge you some kind of extra fee of $25 a day plus tax that we were not expecting.
