This property ended up being a huge disappointment, and considering how much it cost to stay for one night. I was going to stay there much longer. However, I decided on another property because this property had a lot of homeless people passing through as well as hanging out in the pool area, and bathing in the Jacuzzi. In the middle of the night we had people, yelling, banging noise that we couldn’t even get rest.

Amanda

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
There was food and broken plastic on the carpet when I checked into my room. I wear earplugs at night when I travel and it was still noisy, very thin walls between rooms. I felt like I was getting in the way of the staff during my stay just by existing, not like a welcome guest. I didn’t ask for anything and cleaned up the food on the carpet myself. TV and phone in room didn’t work. I have traveled all over the world and normally this would be fine for a more affordable hotel, however, $450 a night was outrageous for the quality. Positives: excellent location, easy parking and good water pressure in shower.
