The clerk that checked me in was very, very rude. There was a guy asking for information, she was very rude and not helpful to him. Next some one called from upstairs asking questions about the room. The clerk literally answered every single question with “I don’t know” 10 x’s. Then it was my turn to check in. She was so focused on her FaceTime call on her personal cell phone, that she couldn’t focus on her job. I will never return to that location.

We were only coming here for one night so our son could go swimming. At no point did anyone tell us that the pool was closed off. And they told us that they were not in a rush to get the pool fixed because it is February, which seems strange, I would imagine people would come more in the winter to use the pool. We checked out immediately and got a room at a different hotel. But the room wasn’t dirty besides one table not being wiped off and being covered in salt.

Not worth the price

When you buy a more expensive room you expect better quality I would have been better $75 room across the street. I paid almost $200 for a dirty room
