Very cheap, but not the cleanest. The pool had chunks of chlorine floating in it. Definitely needed more workers. Called the front desk for a towel to shower with and they told me to go on that floor to the cleaning lady’s cart and take one, and then she didn’t have any. So I used a hand towel. Had to wait a long time to check out for someone to even come to the desk.

Comfortable bed, small upright refrigerator, outside garden grill area. Good for price point. Needs to continue updating inside, paint and small repairs to walls. Light by one side of bed didn’t work due to no plugin available on that side.

Decent
The staff was very friendly but the hotel is definitely rundown. Like most places, they were short staffed and cleanliness took a hit. We checked in early and the hallways had trash that needed to be vacuumed up. Some pretty funky smells in the hallway to my room. The rooms were fairly clean but could use a refresh. The breakfast area is nice and quite large but food choices pretty limited. Patio area seems new and i did enjoy sitting out there. It was protected somewhat from the winds which was terrible during my stay.
