Would pay $100 more for a higher end hotel
Cons:

The pool is about the size of a mid-size sedan and had visible dirt covering the bottom. The outdoor furniture is old, worn out, and in need of replacement.

During our entire 5-night stay, not once were our linens or towels replaced. We eventually had to go to the front desk to request clean towels. The front desk employee asked whether we booked directly through the hotel or through a third party. When I told him we booked through Booking.com, he said that’s why our room hadn’t been serviced because they “take care of members first.” That is one of the most outrageous excuses I’ve ever heard. Paying guests should receive the same basic housekeeping service regardless of how the reservation was made.

To make matters worse, the following day my husband personally asked the housekeeping staff to change our bedding, yet no one ever came to our room. It was extremely disappointing to pay for a hotel stay and have to repeatedly ask for basic housekeeping services that should have been provided automatically.
