Dated room needs some TLC - location is good

The location was great. The room was very dated. The desk chair was shredded. The fridge was dented in several places. Fridge was and not clean. Was not comfortable walking in the carpet so wore my flip flops everywhere ….maybe that is why the price of the room. The breakfast waffle bar was decent and clean. Kinda continental type breakfast. Staff was nice and informative about places to eat.

icky

The hotel is very old. The carpet was sticky. The showers have mold. the couch in the room was terribly worn. All the lounge chairs around the pool were broken and dirty. the towels were old and dingy in color. I understand the affordability of the hotel would account for the worn out furniture etc. However the mold in the bathroom and the sticky floors is a real problem along with broken hazardous lounge chairs is unacceptable.
