Room was dirty with cobb webs in all corners. The curtains had holes in them and the shadow box above the windows were stained as if something had exploded in the room and stained the window coverings very visible. The ceiling in the bathroom had visible mold and cracked tiles. The room has one small garbage can in the bathroom only. Absoutely the worst!!!! I took photos to send to corporate. The place had non-working out door fountains. I will definetly let others know to STAY AWAY from this hotel. They had loud constructiong going on, but they should have shut the place down. Please have corporate contact me to discuss.

The outdoor courtyard is lovely! It’s in a protected area with a heated pool. The staff was wonderful too. Our only issue was construction going on daily from 9 to 5. That will be over in a few months and the place will be even better.
