I cancelled my 2nd night and went somewhere else. Vents had mold, light bulbs had been stolen, the fridge didn’t work well causing my food to spoil, there was a weird loud whining sound that kept going off, and it just felt unsafe. I feel embarrassed for thinking this place would be an okay idea. If you want safety, look elsewhere.

The room was in dire need of repair. A plug was hanging out of the wall. Mirror trim was loose and about to fall from the top. Sheets and pillow cases were stained. Definitely not the room i saw in pictures. Bed was ok. People standing outside room smoking and carrying on was disruptive. It was close to interstate and our event we came here for. And the pool was clean. I didnt swim.

Survived the stay.

Room had been previously a smoking room. Had significant mold in bathroom and missing grout with water damage. Room itself very small and outdated. The mini fridge was sticky to the touch. AC unit cycled and room went from stuffy to freezing. Definitely not worth $163.
