"This property is very dated and rundown; it would benefit greatly from renovation especially for the price. My room had ants and mosquitoes, dirty nooks and crannies, and I had to wait almost an hour for door key reader to be fixed to get in my room on day two. I would have rated this property a one, but the guy at the desk and the maintenance man were nice. Definitely would not recommend or stay at this property again."
"Breakfast was pretty good- eggs, sausage, potatoes, and waffles.
The kids loved the pool and the hot tub. It was well maintained and had good lighting. The hotel room was clean."
