Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Our specific room I guess was next to a maintenance closet, the vibration from the equipment could be felt in our room, shook the wall and couch. The pool was cold for being indoor, and was pretty dirty with sand. The room itself was decent other than that and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Sign said remodeling but i didn’t see any work being done. Walls were dirty, couch was sunken, tvs did not work, spider in bed, hole in carpet, broken floor tiles. Wouldn't stay again for the price.
The carpet is dirty and torn. The floor underneath is lumpy. The floor tiles inbthe kitchen and especially the bathroom are cracked and loose. The couch is dirty, sagging and old. The elevator is small, and old, and you can feel it slipping. That was really concerning. Broken glass window at the pool. They put $50 on my card for incidentals, I'm heading down there for a credit.
Staff not very friendly. It seemed like they did not like the fact we used Hotel.com.
Have stayed there before with no reservations and got treated better.
