We didn't stay the night. We walked into the room and there were flying ants all over the counter and floor. Spiders all over the closet. And a colony of ants in the corner. We also found crumbs and hair under the blankets. I'm hoping that they washed but I could believe that they didn't. The lighting in the room was bad. Pool was green with debris in it. The entire place is nothing like the pictures. The front desk person was nice. Forgot to take pictures. We didn't want to stay in there any longer than we had to.

No signs at the elevator or steps to direct you where your room is. Took 10 minutes to find my room once I got off the elevator. No towel/mat for the floor in bathroom. TV and wi-fi are terrible. No trash cans outside. Place strikes you like know one cares about the place.

Make sure to ask for an updated room!
The 1st room I was in was dark and dingy. They moved me because I was surrounded by a very large group of loud teens that left towels in the halls along with trash n shoes etc- it was like being in a teens bedroom lol...thankfully they moved me. The 2nd room was much nicer and brighter! The place itself is definitely outdated. Location is pretty. Hopefully I won't have to return lol

Won't be back
Restaurant and bar are only open on weekends, which was not disclosed upon booking. Noise from room above, footsteps and barking dog, was annoying. Likely a structural issue, not inconsiderate guests. TV was Roku service (vs cable or satellite), so channels are limited. No blackout shade, just horizontal blinds, so not really private or darkening window treatments.

Horrible. It was out in the middle of nowhere which was great and they had a restaurant. We waited for 30 minutes for someone to acknowledge our presence. No blow dryer. Beds were a single mattress thrown on a metal frame. In the morning there was a sign that said the desk was closed for the day.
