One of the worst rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Nothing like the photo on the web sight.
Pros:

Not much…it was poorly maintained and dirty outside and inside …pool water was greenish

Cons:

Dirty room, faucet in bathroom sprayed water all over room. Shower curtain missing half the hangers. Return air vent clogged with dust and spider webs. Cockroaches in room. All door openings dirty and grime caked. Pool water light green with algae. Entry full of dirt and debris

Terrible night. Terrible stay
Pros:

Absolutely nothing here I liked. Worst hotel I've ever been to. And the room was 280 a night

Cons:

Leaking roof. Clothes were all soak. Thin walls, terrible beds. Could not sleep ans tossed and turned the whole night. Morning shower, water was cold and did not get hot. Place felt torn down. Worst hotel experience

Gross
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The shower floor was black and damaged, gross - the area was noisy with a mentally ill woman singing on a mattress in the parking lot. We didn’t expect a 5 star motel (we were traveling with dogs and had limited options) but for $200/ night in tourist area, we expected a lot better than that. It was disgusting.

Rude service, very disrespectful, and fithly!
Cons:

The property itself was dirty, inside the rooms was just filthy with stains on the sheets in the bathroom and on the shower as well. The toilet seat in the room was even broken!! The people that worked there was even worse they were rude and tried to claim an assumption on our stay when they were the ones in the wrong, they were rude, non helpful and very disrespectful. We even had a worker walk into our room without our permission or knocking first. I do not recommend staying here, even with the price it’s not worth it at all.

Will never stay again.
Pros:

Horrible room, there was mold and mildew, curtains were falling, no towels, mold in shower. I had kids with me this was the most ugliest stay ever. Will never go back again.

Cons:

The whole room. Very moldy smelled like mold, no towels, lets not talk about the green dirty pool.
