The was ok for the price I paid. When we arrived i had to go back down and ask for bedding and then it took 2 hours to arrive. 2 seperate times our room was cleaned and we were left no towels at all. Again i had to go down stairs and ask for them and it delayed our starg to our day because we waited over an hour. The bed was very uncomfortable and caused a lot of back pain. The furniture was stained and dirty. Along with the rug in the living room. Our toliet seat was broken and it was reported and never fixed during our stay. You coukd also see where the wall in the bathroom by the toliet had been urinated on and not cleaned. But i guess you get what you pay for. Would not stay here again or recommend to friends and family.

Liked: Amenities
The area around the front desk and pool was nice and clean, but it needs more work on the rooms. The carpet was dirty and there was a toy visible under the bed. The handle on the coffee pot was broken, coffee filters were wet, creamer was dry like a cracker, no facial tissue or toilet paper. Very small samples of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, not enough for 1 person to use. I recommend using the wall dispensers to avoid recycling plastic as well as having individual sugar, creamer, stirrers and napkins to avoid wasting items that are not used. It will be also nice to have a sample of dish washing detergent to wash the plates and silverware used during the stay.
