Rug in room was quite dirty which made everything feel dirty. We checked in late, so we did not look for another hotel. We had to wait for a staff come back from a room issue to check in. We checked out the following morning.

The hotel was ok. It’s kind of worn down and not very clean. There were stains all over our room and the pool area didn’t look like it was kept up very well, it felt very unclean in that area with hair and other objects all over the ground. For the price I guess I understand but they could definitely do better with housekeeping and maintenance.

Bed had hair in between sheet and blanket. People above us were jumping off the bed and running until 2am, I called the front desk twice, nothing was ever done about it. Online it said free breakfast, charged $5 per person. Nothing was said about deposit, $100 taken with payment for room.
