The reception area smelled bad and it was dirty. The room was put together, but there was no usb connections for the phone. They only give you 2 pillows per bed. The bathroom, wow!, it was dirty. The floor was dirty, muddy and overall dirty.

I was able to stay in a room with 3 queen beds and it was very spacious. The room was clean. It could use some cosmetic work in the bathroom but overall I was impressed. They were very friendly, clean pool, limited breakfast, but close to everything.
