We didn’t stay and the guy threatened us and told us we couldn’t get a refund.
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

Everything. The roaches running around when I opened the door to walk in. I shut the door right away. Why would I bring my stuff in there and let my 1 year old baby in a room like that. The beds were not made. The stove was crazy. The hotel has never been cleaned. When I arrived he charged me another $50 even though I already paid $160 online and then I went to get in my room and saw and just broke down crying. I have a baby I don’t live like that. The pictures online were clean and nice.

Pros:

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The rooms are disgusting and look nothing like they look on the pictures online. The room they gave me had mold on the lampshade, paint chipping off the walls, broken outlet covers with exposed outlets. I asked the front desk person if I could cancel my reservation that I only reserved only an hour and a half before I got there, and he told me that I could cancel but he would charge me $800 if I did. I still didn't stay in the room. I left immediately. I booked through Expedia and after one month of discussion with Expedia they refunded my money. Expedia was never able to get ahold of the hotel for approval of my refund so they refunded me on their own. This is a shady, dirty place.

Terrible.
Pros:

This is genuinely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my life. Rude, dirty, and misleading. It looks nothing like the photos. Found several cockroaches in our room, told the front desk (that isn’t even attached the the hotel itself, rather the motel next door) and they told us to sweep it off the deck and into the pool. Mold on balcony. Never received new towels or toiletries. Was going to get a new room but the hotel and Hotels.com refused (despite paying for the insurance.) Had to pay another $100 resort fee on arrival. Scam.

Mold on head board, missing kitchen drawer, toilet paper stuffed in holes in ceiling, nasty bathroom and carpet, pool full of trash and leaves. We didn't stay not one night. We were there approximately 10 minutes and requested our money back.
