"The rooms are very dated. The wallpaper was coming apart at the seems. The carpet was old and dingy. The bathrooms were also dated and need to be updated. The location is fantastic and the amenities were great. However, the main pool was not very clean at all. The hallways were hot as heck and should be cooled down a bit. The Italian restaurant here was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and helpful. But overall, this place needs a lot of work."
