Broken Crystal Palace.

Room(s) were dirty. Roach(Live) was found in one of the beds. No room cleaning or new towels for 3 days (entire stay). Very Friendly staff but clearly the simple logistics of room readiness was not / is not applied. I reserved 2 rooms for 3 days for my parents and inlaws. My MIL checked out early as a result of the poor room quality. Im sure this is good enough for Summer Beach Tourist who probably dont care for room quality as long as there is a party. But for a local, normal stay its not worth even the discounted price at Hotels.com

Very cute, clean and comfy

The new owners of this place really made some great changes. I haven't stayed here in years and I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is so cute, bright , and colorful. It has a nice little fridge and microwave, a nice flat screen tv, beautiful pool area, and very comfortable beds. Looking forward to a return visit.
