This is not a resort but an old motel. I’d advise you to look else where. Crack heads stealing your money. They stole my money. Thief’s make sure you do your full research before you book this place don’t be fooled. The pictures you see are completely misleading. Expedia did nothing for us. They try to gift you 25$ credit on key cash. This place is a scam, scam, scam!

I did not like the fact that they give you a nifty wristband when you check-in but it could only be used to access your room. I attempted to purchase coffee only to be told that only credit cards were accepted. I had to walk all the way back to my room to retrieve my card and walk all the way back to the coffee shop. It was not at all convenient. Everything else about our very brief stay was great. I was thinking that this was going to be like other resorts where your wristband was also an easy method of payment.
