We had the suite. There were holes in the walls, door handles were falling off, bed only had sheets, walls had cracks in them.... over all it was very dilapidated. The beds were clean. The staff was friendly. I would not stay here again.
This hotel it's nasty!!! The patio had rolls of old carpet lying everywhere and the parking had trash. We had 3 rooms and they were all dirty, the carpet was nasty and stained, no blankets, the pillows were gross, no towels, we had to go to the office and ask for some, and the toilet was dirty and had stuff in it. Eww!!!
We will never ever ever stay at this hotel. It is GROSS!!!!
I was charged by for a room that I never received upon arrival at the hotel they did not have a handicap room available for me and refused to make any accommodations staff was extremely rude and refuses to do anything about it so I paid for a room that I never got and had to stay at different hotel

The entire place was not organized. Some of the staff members were rude. Will not be recommending this hotel nor will we be staying there in the near future.
Bathroom had flies, pipes were leaking and the draining system in toilet was not good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It looks tropical but it needs some maintenance, the stairs are old and need some maintenance.
The room smelled like humid because there is a carpet where the sink is, I imagine the carpet was wet.
It’s a horrible property, dilapidated doors paint and walls, filthy furniture,rowdy and drunk guests in parking lot with loud music, terrible plumbing fixtures, etc, etc etc etc.
I could go on and on but what a dump!!!!!!
You advertise free breakfast? Well the serve only coffee, of course we didn’t have it just seeing the dirty cafeteria
I will call American Express to refund payment. To all Expedia and prospective guests” stay away from this dump “. You will regret it.
Dirty smells old walked in 2 men arguing over stealing something made me feel real safe went and got my own sheets and pillows this was a last minute thing would have rather slept in my car.
The room with in horrible state, not clean, furniture was horrible to include the bed. The door lock was not working properly. Worst experience I’ve ever had!
