Horrible
We had to leave early due to a family emergency but the hotel is so old, dirty, room was not cleaned properly (crushed chips on the floor), the whole place looked like it was ready to fall apart. The TV was run by Cox cable... No smart TV...the TV was about the size of a postage stamp. Room walls were dirty, bathroom was so old fashioned. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The hallways, patio deck, pool deck, tables by the pool were very dirty. They are in need of power washing or daily cleaning. The jacuzzi was filthy, residents were eating and feeding a baby in a diaper in the jacuzzi. The pool was ok but my grandson with no history of ear problems came home with an ear infection. The trap in the shower needs cleaning as well. My grandson said it smelled like crap every time the shower was used. I have been staying at the hotel for last for years and am not sure if I will be staying again next summer.

The hotel itself was absolutely amazing.. Great location and our room was incredibly spacious. The lobby staff was terrible and didn't inform us about any of the hotel's amenities. Our room was also very noisy; they put us on the first floor right by the elevators, so we kept hearing people going in and out of it. The people above also kept stomping around, so as long as they were up, we heard every movement.

Horrible experience, since I only have a limited number of characters to write this review and simply say this, the floor is absolutely filthy, the breakfast is not a breakfast at all when the staff doesn’t keep it up and maintained, no towels at this facility expected dry off with bathmats. And let’s not forget the bug infestation. ants and pincher bugs constantly in the rooms on the walls on the beds. Contacted hotel management general manager has ignored me for two weeks after spending over $3000 at this hotel. Return my call, very polite and courteous attempted to advocate with the general manager, still have not received any calls back from that gentleman either , that tells me my needs and concerns are being ignored zero stars, potential to be a beautiful facility lacking in guidance & management. Highly recommend going to another hotel. There’s plenty others that will save you money and are probably cleaner and have better staff.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We didn't have any bath towels when we checked in and front desk said they would tell Housekeeping to give us towels when they came in at 8:30. We ended up with ants because we left some sweets out, but we didn't expect to get ants! Housekeeping was inconsistent -the first day they "cleaned" our room they made the beds, gave us new towels but didn't take out the trash. Second day they didn't make the beds but took out the trash. Third and fourth day, they didn't even bother coming to our room. Floor of the room was dirty, shower floor could've been cleaner. Overall our stay was just ok. It could've been better if we didn't have to kill ants and empty the small, full trash cans ourselves.

Comfortable quick stay
This was just a quick one night stay while we were moving, room was comfortable, large and clean. I don’t particularly like it being advertised as a free breakfast and then when I check in I’m told there is a $15 resort fee that covers the breakfast, minimal as it was!! Nice location, I was just looking for a place to sleep nearby - it filled the bill well for that!
