The rooms were in good condition, recently redecorated; the bathroom was large with a new shower. Staff were friendly, and housekeeping left a lovely folded towel on the bed. Unfortunately the indoor pool and hotub were in disrepair.

The Cleaning Lady was very nice. She worked the 2nd shift as night auditor. No Internet. No Cable Telivision . No Restaurant. No Bar. The Place had Crack Heads walking around. Was a very nice facility in years past. Foreigners bought and turned into a crappy place. Needs condemned.

The building is an older structure so the carpets and rooms show signs of age. We were in the back part of the hotel (room 124) and we could not access the internet available closer to the front desk. The rooms smelled a little old with a faint wisp of smoke. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was well-lit and the shower was excellent.

Disgusting

Awful - this place is filthy dirty and everything is disgusting - could smell a dead critter in the hallway - carpet was so dirty you had to wear shoes to keep your feet from sticking to it - cockroaches. Also was awakened hearing arguing at three am - opened door and it was the owners in the hallway - unbelievable. Don't stay here, the place needs shut down.

It took us an hour to check in and an hour to check out. I was given the key to a room that was already occupied. The lighting was inadequate to read in bed. The facility is in disrepair, and someone near my room smoked to the point that I had to leave my room.

Well I didn't really like anything about it I mean the beds were comfortable that's about it but I picked the hotel cuz it said had a pool and then I go there to find out that it does not have a pool anymore and then I don't think I should have had to pay as much when my check-in was really late at night and I still had to pay for two whole days
