Disliked: Amenities
I booked a wheelchair accessible room. The room I reveived was NOT accessible and probably one of the smallest rooms in the hotel. Could not manouver in room with wheelchair or washroom. Was not able to take a ahower due to no seat or chair. Staff were indifferent when mentioned issues to them. Seems to be a long stay hotel instead so perhaps they do not like overnight guests. It was a pretty frustrating experience. If you are going to advertise your hotel on Expedia to fill your rooms you need to treat people with respect when they note their needs. This was not a respectful hotel experience. Front desk too high for person in wheelchair.

This property is very rundown and poorly maintained. The shower floor flooded each time we used the shower and the floor was also very slippery. Poor staff service - promised maintenance did not occur and promised additional linen was not delivered. Doors being opened and closed in nearby units was very loud - our doors stuck badly

Room was average. No housekeeping. Fire alarm went off twice in one night for no reason but no apology or compensation from staff. Pool area is clean but locals scaled the gates and were using it. Very convenient location.
