Not worth the price

Had it not been for the outdoor pool we would not have stayed. The room was small, outdated. Toiletries were low or out and had not been restocked. Make-up remover wipes were old and smelled. Only one elevator worked and took forever.

The property was old and insufficient. I had to change rooms because the television didn’t work AND more importantly the carpet by the air conditioner was soaking wet. My second room had the same issue with the carpet being soaking wet. The room had a musty odor. Even though the staff was very friendly and accommodating, they worked very hard and was nice
