My family and I were disappointed. It felt like a motel not a hotel.
Pros:

The staff in the front was friendly.

Cons:

The shower ceiling had mold, the ac was not working and it was hot. People were smoking marijuana in the front outside where you walk in, and it was disturbing going by with my children. They advertise online free breakfast and there was no breakfast. They didn’t have towels available for the pool. It was not worth the price.

Horrible for the 15 mins that we were there.
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

Nothing because we will not be back! This places has an old smell. Plus to many weird people walking around leaving room doors open. Also, how they charge my card 5 x for two room. Then next day plus another $167 more than the actual amount for the room. Total of a 993.00 charge my card got some where we didn’t end up staying at. Horrible!!

I wanted to leave, but already paid via booking.com and would not have gotten a refund.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I booked this room with a pool and hot tub for my family to use. The pool was closed because "stuff" was floating on top of the water. The jets on the hot tub didn't work. Instead of closing the pool room, guests were told they could use the hot tub, just without jets, (which is like sitting in a bath with strangers). There was hair in the shower in my room from someone else, dust and webs on the lamps, and visible dirt on the curtains. The elevator was old, and needed repair, and the hallway smelled of cigarettes and marijuana smoke, even though they were all non smoking rooms. The woman who checked me in at the front desk was not there when I walked in, but outside smoking and hanging out with other people. I wanted to leave, but already paid via booking.com and would not have gotten a refund. We were not told about breakfast, even though it was advertised on booking.com.

It a good thing we only needed somewhere to stay briefly for a few hours of sleep.
Pros:

I liked the location and that's about it.

Cons:

The property is in need of repairs and maintenance. We had cracked tiles in the bathroom and mould growing in areas. It smelled of marijuana and cigarette smoke.
