Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I would not stay here again. The room was cramped, with only small bunk beds to sleep on. My bedframe was damaged, making it difficult to get in and out of the bed safely. There was no real storage, just a small locker; and the overall space felt more like a hostel than a hotel. The room also had a very strong and unpleasant smell of body odor that made it uncomfortable to stay in. On top of that, the only parking option offered was an expensive valet service, which added unnecessary cost. Overall, the experience was disappointing and not worth the price.

Book a room upon arrival they told me I’ll be sharing rooms with eight people and one restroom within my ignorance. I should’ve read the description but I would’ve never thought you can actually sleep in a room with eight people in one restroom so try to cancel they will not refund me my money.

The bar and pool area was good. Happy hour was good value but the hotel seems to rent out the area a lot. The first night part of the area was closed off, but we could still go there. The second the area was completely closed to guests. I don’t really think that is fair.

Large, wooden lockers. Comfy bunk bed mattress w/ individual lights (mine was broken though). Towels provided. 6 bd mixed dorm is small & cramped. Moldy, musty smell. Management needs to replace the worn carpet & stinky towel/rug in the bathroom. Stunk up the whole room. I went to the front desk to ask them to do something about the smell or even provide air freshner but of course nothing was done. Surprisingly, the pool was open this time.
