HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Barely a hotel. The place was falling apart and had temporary wood beams holding up the upstairs. There was a derelict travel trailer parked in the parking lot and several vehicles that did not move the entire time were were there. The pool deck was full of trash and old construction materials. Dogs were barking and people were arguing at all hours of the night. Overall a terrible experience and I can't believe this place is listed on hotels.com
