The property is completely torn apart. The TV did not work, we got switched to a different room, the window shades were broken so people could look in the window at all times, we had to put a towel over the window so no one could see in. The floor was rotted underneath and it felt like we were going to fall through. The sink and toilet were leaking. You could hear every conversation through the walls and not to mention the walking above you all night. I would rate this negative starts if I could, this place should not be operating.

He checked into this hotel by phone where our keys were placed in a black box outside the office. Walking into the room it was just as cold as being outside. We noticed right away that the side lights in the nightstands were not working. When i tried to plug them in the ends of the cords were cut off. The light fixture mounted on the wall in the room started flickering nonstop! when we tried using the hot tub (which is the main reason we reserved this room) the water was coming out brownish so we drained the tub and ran the water and it looked fine. Once the jets started rolling there was a brown residue on top of the water. We heard jumping upstairs above us and noticed white stuff falling down from the ceiling onto the bed and floor. This place was absolutely the worst place we have ever stayed in. From dirty walls, holes in the bathroom walls, this place was absolutely disgusting!
