It was like it hadn't been touched since 1974 and the whole place smelled like grandma's dirt-floor basement. Whoever took the photos of the place deserves an award for making it look a hundred times better than real life. I paid for a king suite and got what looked like a prison cell.

The beds were very uncomfortable. The room was not very clean. The air conditioner was so loud you couldn’t sleep, but they did have availability where everyone else was full.

The outside looked great. Inside not so. The room was extremely dimly lit with very few electrical outlets. The shower didn’t work, the A/C leaked into the room and during the night it popped loudly several times. The “Breakfast” was a small number of packed goods. No drinks.

The beds and pillows were awful. I felt like I was sleeping on a slab of cement and the pillows were like a bag of cement. We couldn't sleep, we decided to leave at 4am and drove home. Never will stay there again.
