Booked a room with 2 queen beds. We did not get queen sized beds. The bathroom was not clean. There were bugs. The phone in room was missing buttons so you cant call front desk to ask for anything. You have to look up number and have to call several times till someone answers and even then they dont bring what you ask for. Will not be staying again. Over all very unhappy

The property is older and not in a great area. The staff was really nice, so it’s not their fault. Specifically, the room smelled heavily of disinfectant, which I guess could be worse. The shower had no pressure and was mounted low so I hard a hard time rinsing off. The TV was small. For the price, it was OK, and the bed was comfortable. If I was traveling with my wife or family, I would definitely look elsewhere.

Checked in easily with friendly lady at desk. Received a renovated handicap accessible room (I’m unable to have a bathtub so room has accessible shower & flooring). Room was clean. The only negatives are: towels are small so using the pool with them would be a problem. The hallways leading to each floor of rooms have stained carpets but that’s not really a problem for me.
Large room with individual air con
Pretty big sized fridge and microwave
Very large handicap accessible bathroom with fold up seating

I liked the courtyard. The hotel room i had and the one i switched to were not renovated. They eaxh had a newer countertop & paint, the second one had a newer small refrigerator. The bathrooms both needed total renovations but had not been done on either & shower height would be good for womeon inder 5' tall.The staff was very nice and tried to accomodate my needs. Gate and pool codes shared by everyone. Cold hot tub. I would not stay here again snd would rate a star at best. Aduld bookstores amd strip clubs i the area did not make me feel comfortable either.
Newer countertop & mirror in first renovated room. That & paint were the extent of renovations.
Eh old

It's older hotel, rooms upgraded, but small. Most important it's clean, with kitchenette for affordable price. No elevator for upper floor, small free parking spaces. Quiet, safe, recommended.
