First, as you drive up to the property, the weeds are almost as tall as the hotel in the property just in front of the Hotel, that it maid it look abandoned. Then we tried to check in only to find out KEY CARD system had been down for a 2nd day so no key card to issue. They had to personally let us in our rooms with a key card and advised that we not lock the doors if we were going to be going in and out. Then they also tell us the elevators are broken and no ETA of when they would be fixed. So we had to carry our luggage to the 4th floor and there were 10 of us with kids. Upon waking up the next morning, there was a large roach crawling on our bed! When I checked out and told the front desk her reply was 'OH'. Never again will we stay there.

The ladies staff were very amicable and professional! During my stay, there was no toilet paper, the ice machine was down and l had a hard time sleeping due to excessive noise from AC units by my window. I did not sleep well there due to loud noise outside my bedroom window due to fans straining excessively and making a very loud noise that kept me up or woke me up abruptly due to loud sounds of AC fans!
