Pros:

The rooms were clean and comfortable. No complaints there and the breakfast in the morning was good

Cons:

What I did not like was the Jacuzzi heater was broken, so it only had cold water and the water was dirty the swimming pool liner was wrinkled and was coming up and there was sand all in the pool in the deep end and the water had a weird smell.

Awful, wouldn’t recommend anyone stay at all.
Pros:

They did accommodate us and put our rooms next to each other.

Cons:

Property is falling apart. Because of that, the rooms felt very dirty and gross. Damaged headboards, fabric
Falling off of them. Carpets in rooms and
Hallway had stains everywhere and were torn up. Cabinetry was falling apart and pealing.

Pros:

The bed was comfortable

Cons:

The hotel wasn't very nice looking, especially for the price. The carpet was stained, the pool area could have been cleaner. We booked for four people and they only gave us two towels and washcloths. We asked for more and it took hours to get them and still we didn't get any more washcloths. They bathroom only had one and a half small rolls of toilet paper. The towels were scratchy. For the price paid for one night it was disappointing.

Cons:

Shower leaked out onto bathroom floor.
Electrical outlets were limited by the bed.
No end table on one side of bed
Only one lamp between the two beds
Breakfast buffet limitations -- fruit options, no yogurt
