Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast could be improved.
Breakfast has been reviewed as pretty basic. Several people have mentioned the quality and selection of food options provided could be better.
negative:
Worn-out property and rooms.
The property is a bit dated and could do with cosmetic improvements. Bathrooms and bathroom fixtures especially need an upgrading as some are broken. In some units, air conditioning units are a little finicky with the way they work or how loud they get. Beds could be replaced, as people mentioned uncomfortable springs in mattresses. There is fraying carpet in several rooms. Furniture around the pool area also could be replaced.
negative:
A good scrubbing possibly in order.
One of the top complaints about this hotel was room cleanliness. People mentioned unpleasant odors in rooms, damp and stained carpeting, cockroaches and finding garbage from previous occupants.
