Overall Score2.0/ 5
The bedspread was dirty when we arrived and the garbage was not emptied. That did not make me feel very good about being in the room.
Gary S. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
12-May-2022 Verified Review, stayed from Thu May 12 to Fri May 13 2022 at a $102.99 average nightly rate. "Horrible customer service."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
The staff didn't know what they were doing. They wouldn't even let me get a few extra towels so my kids could use a towel after the pool. Then I had issues with the vending machines and the staff also told me they couldn't help me with that either. My family will never stay there again!

Garbage can in front of building was overflowing, hallway floor looked like it hadn't been vacuumed for several days. The room had a bad smell to it.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
Most things were fine, but when the water is up to your ankles by the time you finish a quick shower it is not what I find acceptable.
