They don’t do daily room service. They only clean the room before you get there and after you leave send lots of lil ants in the room but they do give you breakfast

My key card stopped working at least once every day and I got locked out of my room on my last night for an hour because the key card stopped working and the office was closed. Had to walk over to the next hotel and I guess she had a key card for this one. All in all not bad, just slightly disappointed.

Had to return to front desk 3 times before I was able to get a functioning key card and room. The floor was so dirty I had to keep shoes on my entire stay. There were stains on the sheets. Only one person working front desk so don’t expect to check in anywhere on time. I got there at 2:50 and didn’t get into a room until 3:40. They had to switch my room twice, during the second attempt I had to wait for the room to be cleaned. Highly highly don’t recommend

I was surprised there was no refrigerator in the room. We booked a queen size bed, but it was a double or ‘full’ size. The room was TINY. Our room was right beside the laundry room, for a terribly noisy night. I would not recommend this hotel and I will definitely not ever stay here again

CONS- our key card stopped working about two times. The first time I went at a gentleman was at the front desk and he was extremely rude to not only me, but the customers that were in line before me. He looked like he was extremely bothered, and I felt very uncomfortable to even ask him for any help. The second time our key card stopped working. It was after hours so we had to go to the hotel next-door for the engineer to let us in with a master key card. Floor was disgusting. It looks like they don’t warm off. You cannot walk around without shoes on. There was dust everywhere and in the corners there was dirt. PROS- that same gentleman that was extremely rude was very welcoming when we checked in the night before. He was extremely nice so I’m not sure what happened the next day with him. The pool was very clean. They share it with the hotel next-door. Check out is 11 AM which is great because it gave us time to enjoy the morning. They have a little selection of breakfast, which was pretty decent. Overall, the hotel is no bells and whistles, but it was a place to rest our head while we were on vacation.
