What I thought was odd was you conducted all transactions through a small sliding window. There were a lot of construction workers and people placed by FEMA. But, surprisingly, it was quiet and we didn't have any trouble. The parking lot was well lit. The website stated that there weren't any bedsheets on the beds, but there were, and they were clean. Overall, the stay was better than I expected.

Llegamos y no podíamos respirar del mal olor adentro de la habitación, no tenía ventanas, olor a humo y humedad. Sucio la alfombra. Nos fuimos a otro lugar a los 30 minutos de llegar. We arrived and we couldn't breathe from the bad smell inside the room, it had no windows, the smell of smoke and humidity. Dirty carpet. We went to another place within 30 minutes of arriving.

This hotel was closed for any reservation made through a booking agent. I was given a $75 rate and used my cash key of $5 so I was expecting to pay $70. I was charged $129. I was shocked and it was too late for me to find something else in this area. I will be contacting Hotels.com about this. You should not advertise a property that is only used for Cema and construction workers. I felt very unsafe.price gouging nasty place!

Did not see any bugs. Room was clean, though it was dated. Had a king with 2 pillows. Pool area looked nice. I would stay again. It's not bad considering the price. About a 15 minute drive from The Sound amphitheater.
