Will never book them again
Pros:

I required a ground floor room. I wrote the property twice, one through your website and once directly. No reply. It was too late to cancel. I booked a property from Hotels.com that actually communicated with me.

Cons:

Horrible communication. non existent.

Nothing

They wanted a 500.00 deposit and they said that I had to pay for the room again after I already paid . You should take them off your list.

I’m going back just to support the independent owners whose kindness and helpfulness made the stay that much more pleasu
Pros:

Perfect location on/off areas of interest. Walkable to Hard Rock Casino; truly very close for half the expense. Owners are WONDERFUL! Simple breakfast included and property was kept very clean. I didn’t have any but they also accept pets!

Cons:

Bedding/drapes are dated and towels are a bit thin, but considering that it IS A BUDGET INN EXPRESS, everything was as it should have been. There was a neighboring guest with ZERO class or respect for others but that can sometimes be expected anywhere no matter the hotel cost!
