This hotel is nasty! The only saving grace is the view. Our sink was instantly backing up. It was sooooo old and tired. Beds were so squeakily and wobbly. It was cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Roaches!! The heated pool was awesome, the staff was great, but I killed like 18 roaches in my room for a 2 day stay! I had to literally sleep with the lights on and wake up killing roaches. If I had stayed more than 2 days I’d have just left! Terrible!

Excellent view. Room was ok. Wish bathroom had a fan. Be nice if breakfast or food was available in lobby. Parking is tight. Be nice if there was more clear direction on where else to park.
