You get what you pay for. would I stay here with my guy friends absolutely would I bring my wife here not a chance. A lot of these property’s have been bought by Indians, they don’t have any hospitality experience they don’t realize these places need to be brought up to date constantly. The owners really need to go to school and learn how to operate these places correctly.
