Room was very dirty, there was a roach in the “suite” area. The suite was not even a suite, you walk into a room with two beds then theres a separate room which is supposed to make it a suite. Won’t be going back there. I changed my stay to this hotel instead of my previous stay across the street based on the reviews which were definitely not accurate.

During check-in around 11 AM, the front desk receptionist was extremely rude. He didn’t greet us, seemed annoyed the entire time, and responded to basic questions with attitude. When my wife asked about the pool hours, he snapped that it was “on the paper” and then told us the pool was closed and that if we went after hours we’d be charged—followed by the inappropriate remark, “which I don’t think you can afford.” This level of disrespect was shocking and completely unacceptable.

The pictures were a lot different than online. Had a bad first impression. In the middle of the night, I woke up to go to the bathroom. Saw a rat in my room! I couldn’t literally sleep that night. In the morning, I could see the rat had made a nest under my bed. Went to the front desk first thing in the morning and the employee did not seem to care or bat an eye. I wanted a new room and they said they were completely full. I could not sleep in that room the next 2 nights. And they wouldn’t refund me because I’d booked on Expedia. Eventually they did give us another room which I throughly inspected. Seemed fine but really would never stay here again. All 3 employees I spoke to about this didn’t seemed shocked there was a rat in the room. I’m sure it’s a common issue and definitely wouldn’t trust their many restaurants there
