Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival at midnight we had to speak through a broken window via microphone to the desk clerk or manager. Never once allowed into the cool lobby that was pictured in the advertisement. After showing ID and giving credit card we were given our keys to our rooms through the slot in the window and instructed to go upstairs to our rooms. When we got there there were no bath towels. The rooms seemed clean but all the dirt was behind the beds. The drawers were filthy and needed to be wiped out before you could put your clothes away. Went back downstairs to request towels. The next day we wanted to try out the pool. The water was warm and filthy. The area around the pool had not been cleaned in years . No lounge chairs to lay on to town just chairs to sit on. Our sister who lived in town was not allowed to come and sit with us at the pool. I think they just did not want outside people to see the conditions of this property. They accused us of having a third person in this room when she was only the person driving us as we were there to visit her. I have never experienced being accused and not once did they apologize for the dirty room, lack of towels, the lack of hospitality greeting their guests through a broken glass outside in the middle of the night. I would never recommend anyone stay at this property. This is my first bad review I have ever left after a vacation and I am 61 years old. May I add I have traveled the world. No way to spend your vacation.
