Mold filled room
The room smelled like a dirty old basement and it stayed so wet in the room that my 3 year grandson is bruised and scrapped from just walking and slipping on the damp fllors. Mold all over the bathroom walls and ceiling. Mold all around the window. Security lock on inside of the door was missing. The shower walls was covered in dirt and someone else’s hair

The whole place needs an update. The rooms were extremely musty, the floor in one of the room had a whole when you stepped on it you sank down. Paint was on the carpet. There was no vending machines. The location was convenient for us.

Nothing was clean either in the room or the hallways, the sofas inside the rooms and the sheets.
Bathroom was falling apart.
Roaches were almost everywhere.

Dirty, noisy, breakfast pretty much inexistant. Pool was cold, bathrooms out of service, the whole place is a hodge podge of nasty smells. Found a dead flee in the bed. Nothing good to report.
