First room we were given hadn’t been cleaned. They swapped us to another room next door. Went to the pool and no towels, after we were told the pool towels were at the pool. Went back in to get pool towels and was given ONE. “So sorry, that’s all we have” is literally what I was told as I was being handed the towel. Breakfast was typical hotel

Don’t do it.

When I arrived at check-in, there was no one at the desk, me and another guest waited 5 to 10 minutes before someone showed up to check us in. I tried calling the property. The phone rang, but nobody answered. The cell phone in the room look like it had food stains all over it and nail polish spilt on the floor by the bed. The bathtub is cracked. The bed was OK, but that’s probably the only thing.
