Not Worth the Money! - user review
Hotel is on the older side. Seems as though father time has passed this hotel by!

This is a motel not a hotel, clean but clearly aging - user review
The best thing about the room was the bed, and that it overlooked the pool.

The safety pamphlet even suggests you not use your front door. There was no tub, ju...

No fitted bottom sheets - user review
The one thing I can't stand is when a hotel doesn't use fitted sheets for the mattress. When they aren't fitted they get bunched up and uncomfortable. Not only were the bottom sheets not fitted, but they weren't big enough. That means that they weren't able to be tucked under at the bottom, exaspera...

This was probably a top notch hotel 25 years ago, but it's looking a bit dated at this point.
