The bed was super uncomfortable. Bed sheets were ripped. Toilet looks like it has never been cleaned. Stains all over the curtains. Smells awful. I don’t know why but it sounded like someone was trying to get into our room at least 5 times a day. Next to the road so it was super loud. Constantly hear planes flying over. The microwave looks like they never cleaned it. Also, no plate in the microwave. Customer service was nice but even the office looked like someone lives in it.

I arrived at the property at 2:50 PM, ten minutes before the designated 3:00 PM check-in time. Upon checking in, I was given a key to my room, only to discover it had not been cleaned from the previous guest. The room was in unacceptable condition—dirty towels were scattered across the bathroom, the bed was unmade with used sheets, and trash was still present. I returned to inform the owner, who simply stated he would send someone to clean the room. There was no apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience. I then had to wait approximately 20 minutes for a housekeeper to arrive, who unfortunately did not speak English. The owner, who also did not speak Spanish, had to rely on Google Translate to communicate with her, making the situation even more inefficient. As a result, I wasn’t able to settle into my room until after 4:00 PM. To make matters worse, the bed I was provided was unstable and clearly not a king size, despite having booked a king room. The bed frame appeared to be a flimsy piece of metal, adding to the overall sense that corners were being cut to save costs. Overall, this experience was disappointing, and I will not be booking at this property again.

It was nothing like it was described! Sounded cool from description but it was a dumpy hotell. Not even an ice machine. Key didn't work several times It is a good location but a Motel 6 would have much better. We really wished we hadn't booked 2 nights. We really didn't want to go back second night. Ive never stayed in such crummy hotel and I've stayed in a lot of cheap hotels

Terrible. Just a terrible place to stay at. Got 2 rooms and they both stunk, literally. Each room had 1 SMALL round fluorescent light by the entrance, that's it. So the rooms have this gloomy, depressing vibe especially at night.

Do not recommend this place

The staff were woundevrful. But the stay was awful. Because on arrival half the drapery and rod were on the bed. No washcloths, trash cans, or kleenex provided in room. The vending machines did not work. TV didnt work. Bucket for ice provided howerver they had removed their ice machine. Owners had dog tied outside that barked ALOT. And the walls between the rooms werer very thin. Noise from other roomseemed like they were in our room with us. Only redeeming quality was the staff

Our room was dimly lit. Only one light and it was not that bright. Room did not have lamps or any other source of light. Small tv with only local channels and cable TV like in an early 2000s hotel. Pool was closed. The room seemed like it was being renovated. There was a huge mirror just leaning against the toilet. And screws left on bathroom cabinet. The bathroom mirror was dangerously hanging with only 2 screws. Water pressure was really low in the shower. Small refrigerator made a loud sound all night. Fire alarms flashed us all night looked like they were low on batteries. Just old and outdated.paper thin walls, you can hear everything!!!
