The staffing appeared to consist of only three men—two handled check-in/check-out, and the third seemed to manage maintenance or housekeeping. Most of the time, all three were sitting on the patio couch outside the guest entrance, chatting and laughing. That alone wouldn’t have bothered me, but it was frustrating considering the overall state of the property. The pool was a major disappointment—cloudy, dirty, and clearly neglected. I never once heard a pump running or saw anyone attempt to clean it, and unsurprisingly, no guests used it. This is a shame because the pool and its surrounding area have potential if properly maintained. The room’s air conditioning didn’t work, making the stay uncomfortable, and the amenities listed on the website were not delivered as expected. The breakfast was underwhelming—just cereal, bagels, oatmeal packets, and coffee. Also worth noting: none of the rooms have microwaves. There’s only one for guest use, and it’s oddly located in the pool area near the lobby entrance—right by where the staff hang out. Lastly, there’s a $100 deposit that is not mentioned anywhere on their site or booking platforms. For a 3-star hotel (being generous), that’s excessive—especially considering even many 5-star hotels charge much less. Overall, a disappointing experience with a lot of missed potential.

Great location

Great location and the room was clean and well stocked. Door jam looked like it was kicked in and replaced leaving a gap to the outside so it was very noisy for most of the night (Sat). The bed was extra firm and too hard for my taste.

The most recent Google reviews made me skeptical about booking but the king room overlooking the pool was clean aside from a couple cigarette burns in the comforter no weird smells and the bathrooms where nice aside from the tub almost feeling greased when showering a grab bar or traction pads would be a nice addition

Three nite stay, room was fine and bed was comfortable. Don't count on having the Continental breakfast because they ran out of food first day there and didn't seem to worry about replenishing. Staff could've cared less sadly!

I am requesting a refund. We didn't stay at the hotel. After checking in, we realized it was dirty, rooms smelled of animals and pulling back the comforter, the sheets were dirty.
