Bed bugs at this hotel. Just checked in and then right back out of 4 rooms and had to scramble to rebook. Staff was trying to be kind, but urging me to leave and asking me to send a picture though I insisted on waiting to confirm my refund. I’ve seen a lot of the reviews responded to saying that they’re under renovation and that is an understatement. Most things were out of order. One of our room smelled like mold, but the bedbugs were the final straw. One of the women at the front was friendly but tried to convince us at first that this wasn’t bed bugs, she eventually said she would refund us for the rooms. While confirming my refund with Expedia one of the women at the front desk confirmed to the Expedia rep they “yes they have a bed bug problem”. It’s unethical business practice. Do not waste your money and time.

This property is not what was advertised! It is not a 3 star hotel. The pool and excersize facilities were closed. There is no patio seating as pictured. The property is in need of renovations. The carpets and walls are in serious need of repair and upgrades. The furniture in our room was terribly soiled. I requested a deluxe room when I reserved for the views and space. What I got was a window view of large dumpsters surrounding the property. The check in clerk was very apologetic. And thank us for not leaving. Had I not pre paid I would have left. In all fairness to future occupants, please change the rating on this property!

4th visit gone wrong making it a last visit
We have stayed st this hotel for 3 years. We have always had a great experience except this time. Upon arrival we were given a dirty room with towels in shower and food containers in the room. I went down and.asked for another room. The new room all outlets at bedside didnt work and we are cpap users. We made it work though. We didnt sleep much first night as the beds were uncomfortable and hurt our backs and body. We got up to have breakfast and it wasnt a hot food breakfast it was cereal breakfast with yogurt and fruit only. We stayed two night so when we got back very late that night midnight our cards stopped working and we had to get the cards redone. I am unsure what has happened with this place. I think it changed hands. They had sea crates all over the parking lot so parking was limited. We unfortunately will not be back to this site. The 4th time was the last time. I hate that because we love the area.
