The photos online are staged. The units were not kept up by any means. The cheapskate things were what stuck out. First unit had zero electricity. Second unit we got the floor was coming up, holes in the walls, the door handle to the bathroom continuously fell off locking us in the bathroom (thankfully it wasn’t a solo trip) the toilet was new with the old yellow toilet seat, curtains falling down off the rods, hair on the bedroom floor that wasn’t ours, also food crumbs on the bedroom floor that also was not ours. I asked for a broom and dust pan 3x never got one. Asked for an additional towel set as there was 2 of us we only had one, we weren’t given towels or our trash even picked up till the day before we departed. When I asked the front desk to have someone come get towels and trash she asked if i wanted to get the premium package for housekeeping. Absolutely not! A basic service would’ve sufficed. The neighbors all smoke inside their units or right out front your window where it gets sucked in through the vents. Everyday we returned and the room smelt like a bar. Never will return would rather have been compensated for some of this. Ridiculous

Room had window shutters,did not stop bright light outside window from illuminating the room. Only 1 set of towels left in room. Bathroom counter falling apart. Ceiling over tub with large crack and broken area. Ceiling over window in room unpainted with multiple holes, I assume from curtain rods. There was a small amount of scraps left on floor. Front desk staff did nothing to help with this. Room door slmost took slamming to get in finally locked. And construction on site still going on after 6 pm

No towels

Only one bath towel. We were it would be 2 hours before towels would be available. After 2 hours still not ready. We went to bed. Next morning still no towels. Desk and housecleaning gave us attitude about a simple request for towels. Yes it was a busy weekend but the attitude was not needed

Underwhelmed for the price

We only had one set of towels when we arrived. Coffee maker in our room did not work. Each new day we had to have our keys reactivated so we could get into the lobby for breakfast. No sitting chair in the room. One afternoon we tried to sit by the pool but left after a short time due to the noise of the power washer. When we returned to our room the floor in front of the door was wet from the power washer. The tub faucet dripped the whole time. It apparently has been dripping for a long time as the tub has rust at the drain.

The quality of the room and property upkeep were mediocre. We had to wait a few minutes for someone to arrive at the front desk (granted we did arrive at 11:30 PM). Our room had one towel. Surprised it had a 3-star rating.

Yikes

This was the most disgusting room I've ever stayed in and not at all how it was pictured. The room was filthy in every sense... walls with dirt & marking all over, couch was covered in stains, there were 3 empty 40oz beer bottles in one of the cabinets, shower was gross, some of the wiring for the tv just was a hole punctured through the wall eith tape holding it in place... just eww.
