Pros:

I like that. It was close to shopping centers and the location that it was at. I didn 't like the fact that I had to go down to the front desk to get sheets and everything like that, because the housekeeper did not come by our room and I didn't like the fact that when I had to go get a plunger to unstop the toilet. The lady that was on shift originally told me to leave it outside the bedroom outside the room. Then the next morning shift lady told me that I should have brought the plunger back when it wasn't, my job. Maintenance or housekeeping should have came by 2 have picked the plunger up.

Awful we checkout 2 hours after we checked in.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Absolutely nothing! It was a shithole. It was dirty, smelled musty, definitely had previous customers that had been smoking in the room, the light above the sink wasn’t working, and it took over 10 minutes for the water to get hot. We told the front desk how we felt and they refused to give us our money back.

Pros:

Easy to find. Friendly staff at check in.

Cons:

The whole property isn’t connected as one indoor place. Lights didn’t work, furniture tore up, shower head leaking with no water pressure. Needs updating badly.

I feel mislead by bookings 4 start rating. That hotel was nothing like the photos or the reviews I read on the booking
Pros:

Location

Cons:

It was poorly maintained. The room was dirty and smelled of stale smoke. The grounds were also dirty. The pool was gross and there was a used condom on the pool deck.
