Beds were uncomfortable. Water was either boiling hot or cold on the shower, knob didn’t allow for an in between. The first night the hot water wasn’t even working. A floor mat would be nice to help keep sand off of the stone tile floor. Price listed seemed worth it then a hotel fee was tacked on and at that point the stay was not worth the price. THE WALLS ARE absolutely paper thin. Doesn’t seem like a quiet time is enforced because people would be up making noise well into the night. Just stay somehwere else.

It was okay

While it was going good , we were disappointed about a few things . Uncomfortable bedding and there were water roaches coming up our drain , mind you we paid well over 600 for the “deluxe” room , floors felt sandy and the cleanliness just wasn’t there . There was dirt everywhere under the bed . We didn’t bring it to their attention because they were super sweet ! But it is unfortunate that we paid so much just for the deluxe room to Feel dirty & with water bugs
