No pool!
Pool is closed. Breakfast was a loaf of bread & jar of peanut butter or two choices of cereal. No microwave in room, no coffee pot in room. No real blanket, just a thin acrylic one.
Bring your own stuff!

Thank you for the stay here at your hotel.
The stay was good. Good personality people. This hotel is something where I can recommend for people on lower budget. The manager is friendly. Thank you for letting me stay here.

The property was not kept on nice. The outside has no curb appeal at all! The towels were in bad condition. I would not use what we were given to any company coming to my house. Staff not friendly not able to get even a good morning from them. Food for continental breakfast was not good. One kind of cereal which was raison brand--what if you don't like raisons? Only white bread for toast, 1 oatmeal cereal packet in the drawer. Rooms are outdated and bed mattress very soft and pillows hard and bulky. TV hard to operate

The entire hotel was run down and very dumpy. The room I had must have just had the carpet cleaned as it was sopping wet. It looked like people were living there.
The tub had a large strip of some sort of tape covering up a crack.

Air conditioner worked great. Someone was smoking weed. Breakfast time was too short. Need ashtrays outside all doors, there were cigarette butts on the grounds by the doors.
