My gosh this is close to one of the worst places. Okay, so we did sleep here and it was fine. But, everything is outdated, the pool area doubles as a hallway and bar/lounge area like one of those old hollodomes. Sooo nasty. Upon entering the room we were given, we noticed it had not been cleaned from the previous... More

Wires sticking out of the floors, Big yellow utility power strip with cord running through middle of room because outlets did not work. Carpet in rooms had... More

We checked in on a night in January. We checked out a half hour later. Enough said? I've never,ever left a hotel before. The halls were dingy, very dark, and freezing. Our room was the same. Even the "hot tub" was freezing! We (my daughter and I) were scared to walk through the halls, as they just felt dirty and... More

Water stains on the ceiling tiles (other people in our group actually had the ceiling collapse on their belongings), horrible rust stains in the toilet, no cold water, only warm, and the A/C was either...

Our stay was on 6/8/2008 and it was the worst experience ever and were thoroughly disgusted. Upon arrival the property/hotel looked ragged/unkempt, landscaping dead or dying. Weather that day was hot & humid...upon entering the lobby...it was worse! No air whatsoever and no indication by sign or apologies from staff that is was not in working order. Our room, we... More

All the terrrible reviews on this place are totally true! This place should be bulldozed. I felt like I was in a prison walking through the halls. Upon arrival I had no chairs in my room.
