Lea Rodriguez

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
First night I was going to shower, there was hair on the walls of the bath tub & also along the trim of closet doors, as if dirty towels where used to wipe down areas. Also, I had to call front desk 2 times to complain of group of people drinking on the front patio area & talking loud approx 11:30pm -12:00am. I was told they had brought it up to their attention, but nothing the staff could do on their part and that I had to just deal with it.

Easy place to stay!

This was a good place to stay! We had no issues. The pool was chilly, but no big whoop. The breakfast was your standard hotel free breakfast, but was good and we appreciated it very much. The check-in was easy enough. They have games you can check-out which was cool.
