Dec 8, 2025

Room was extremely dirty. Like its never been cleaned walls were dirty and killed 2 roaches. Lights are sensored so any movement while sleeping they turn on including the restrooms fan. Beds have peices of dangerous bars sticking out in which i hit my right leg. I took pictures for proof. Parking lot is full of homeless walking around. Did not feel safe at all.

We had a great time. Just some bugs in the night all over the bed … in back room but I think it was from the outside unsure! We loved the place. The kids had a blast!!!

Pool and hot tub not working. Parking lot and entrance full of construction. Bare essentials in room. Noisy area. Smallest pillows I've ever seen. Won't stay there again.

Oct 21, 2025

The room itself looked as thought it was I. The middle of revamping. Hot tub outdated. Jets barely gave any sort of massage. No chairs just small table and bed. Top drawer of cabinet for clothes didn’t open and the light outside of the room flickered constantly throughout the night. You can hear everything all around. Best thing was the shower head in the bathroom.

Oct 13, 2025

The room was practically bare and the floors were covered with debris and stains. The beds were awful, the fan in the bathroom didn’t work so we had a ton of humidity and condensation, the parking was atrocious, the pool and hot tub were closed. There was trash everywhere and extremely sketchy people just posted there at all hours of the day.

Not as it appears on pictures

Photos of the hotel are not like the actual place. Everything seems older and kept unwell. There was a particular chair in the room extremely dirty and scratched up. Labeled as a hotel but seems more like dirty apartments. Area is very sketchy as well.

The place was under some type of construction and there were very shady people roaming around looking like they lived in their cars in the parking lot and smoking drugs in their vehicles.
