Our room wasn’t cleaned properly; there was visible dirt left from the previous guest. The hotel overall is in need of a deep renovation and modernization. It was clearly well designed when it was originally built, but it has been neglected over time by the current management.

My granddaughter and I stayed here for a week in March and it was fantastic. The staff, especially Lupita, are extremely nice and so quick to help you with whatever you need. Everything was very clean! The staff was cleaning everyday so you know they take care of the place. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will be returning!!!
