I will never use this location again. Liked: I enjoyed the room access being outside. Disliked: When we arrived at 2pm (check in time), we were told our room was ready. We arrived at the room to find no bedding on the bed, trash from the last occupant, the floor hadn’t been swept or mopped, the bathroom was dirty and still had the last occupants mess in the toilet. We notified the front desk and they had it cleaned but it took around an hour. There was beer bottles randomly around the property. The breakfast was laughable. The bed was incredibly hard and noisy & the ac in our room did not keep the room cool. The sheets had cigarette burn holes.
