Kinda noisy at night but that's more about the neighborhood than the hotel. A car alarm is understandable but not for a half hour...

Terrible and Dirty

Check in was at 3pm we got there at 4pm and were informed that the room was not ready. They were still cleaning and it was ready until 7pm my family and I were waiting outside by the pool. There was no lobby to wait in or restrooms to use. When they finally gave us the room it was dirty had to call them to come collect all the trash bags all inside the room. To request clean towels it was just awful. We had driven for 10 hours and we just wanted to get some rest. I beefed up going to buy cleaning supplies to clean the restroom and rooms myself it was too dirty. I reported this to the front office and they apologized and gave the managers email they said I could send an email but weren’t sure when he would get back to me. I would never ever stay there or recommend it to anyone.
