Sketchy environment, great room
The general location left much to be desired, as we saw numerous shady characters and the cops showed up twice. But the room itself was absolutely lovely and had everything we needed - microwave, fridge, big bed and hot shower. And they have a pool!!!

Woke up to a cockroach next to my bed. Started investigating the sheets. Found what look like wound up pubic hair in the sheets. Found other hair in the sheets that wasn’t mine. I have silver and black hair. Sheets were stained. Went down to talk to front desk and basically was told too bad. I asked for a refund and the front desk person said since I went through Expedia, they can’t do anything for me. Sorry. Rude rude people at the front desk. Will never stay there again ever.

The room was non-smoking, yet the bed spread had several cigarettes burns in it. The blanket was stained. The room was in serious need of refurbishing. For $265 a night, I expected more.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! We literally checked in after a day at the Safari Park just to take a shower and get cleaned up before going to the airport for an overnight flight. So we had very low expectations. The area is a little sketchy, but the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was fine, but the shower was perfect! Plenty of hot water and good pressure. Turned out to be a great idea!

5am last morning of stay there was a very loud alarm and speaker I guess from a security company telling some people to leave the property. This continued for about 1.5 hours.
