Many places in the area that are cleaner, nicer, more comfortable and with much better customer service than this place. Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here.

This is not a 4 star resort, but rather a 3 star hotel. Buildings are old. Pool and jacuzzi need resurfacing Kitchen was outdated: old coffee maker, no dishwasher There was a dead bug inside kitchen counter There is no housekeeping service, no hand-soap, body wash, conditioner or body lotion in the bathroom. Bathroom is very small It would be OK for $ 100 per night, but not for $ 180

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is run down: chipped paint, holes in the ceiling tiles, ancient & noisy A/C unit, dated room decor. The towels are rough & of very poor quality. The toiletries provided are embarrassing: bar of soap & shampoo of Motel 6 caliber. The lighting in the parking lot & throughout the exterior of the property is very dim (making it feel unsafe). There are residents who live there. After midnight on the night of my arrival, there were 2 dogs running around the parking lot barking with the owner chasing them. In the middle of the day, there was a different larger dog (pit bull or pit mix-aggressive looking) was sitting on the grass near the pool-not on a leash & not restrained. The front desk closes I at some point at night, so security personnel checked me in. I interacted with one staff member over the phone & 2 in person-they were all very friendly & helpful. The pictures & description for this "resort" are not consistent with what I experienced during my stay.
