Disliked: Amenities
This hotel does not work with Expedia. Despite their website stating that they offer a shuttle service, they do not do so for Expedia. They also state that they are a five minute walk from a mall, they are not. They do have a “mall” across the street from the hotel, however it is a souvenir shop that is literally falling apart. The actual mall is a 15 min car ride away from the hotel. The food at the hotel are awful and their lunch options are hotdogs or hamburgers or fajita meat. They don’t respond to any emails and they don’t offer a map of the property. They are not helpful at all if you need any assistance with locations or any information about the property.
