"Not great, but not awful. Some picky things I wish were better."

6.0

The location was good, being next to Walmart is great. Breakfast was good.

Water pressure in the shower was awful. No guide to the channels on the cable.

"Would not recommend or stay at this hotel again."

4.0

Staff were courteous except when reporting the smell of cigarettes in the room. Front desk staff Cherie was very professional and attentive.

The cleanliness was sub par and seeing cockroaches in the room was concerning.

"Felt like I got robbed"

1.0

it was only good thing about the stay

everything, from the beginning they gave us a room we could get in due to the key circle was missing from the door just a open hole. stayed in hallway over twenty minutes waiting for another room. OK WE GOT IN THIS ONE. the sound when you first go into the master bedroom almost make you cover your ears it was so loud like a small lawnmower going. i look out the window for the view of the pool and then notice by the bottom of the window and wall is mushy like paper mache and you could poke you finger through it. the bathroom door had no handle on the inside i vb4oke a nail trying to close it from the inside. willing to over look all this. I just wanted to enjoy a vacation no problems no work..lol.. we leave for the beach and dinner when we return and try to open the door to the room the handle comes flying off into the hallway. well to the front desk again. we get moved to 401 vent is leaking dripping on floor table and tv. notified front desk twice before anyone finally came to look. the light would not work in bedroom and in the kitchenette the light would flicker and glow bright then out. I cut it off afraid of afire. around 2am the fire alarms woke us up three different time from 2am thru 3pm the fire dept lights kiddos were scared omg this is a nightmare. The manager said she could not refund our money due to third party booking and promised to give us points as that was all she could do, surprise no points as promised. I am thinking about going to the news channels with this =. Absolutely unacceptable. I paid 404.00 to stay two nights and deal with this. wow.....
