Long story short we did not end up staying we were there 30 minutes and had issues with the staff and VERY creepy.
Pros:

Location was the only good thing about this property

Cons:

The staff were extremely rude as well as creepy. I was asked how many people were going to stay in my room I told the staff and he then proceeded to ask how many girls. It gave us a very creepy vibe, the door did not lock properly and we were watched while unloading the car as well.
