The place is filthy rotten dirty. The walls had dirty Marks all over them and holes in them. Around The pool was not maintained it had grass and weeds growing out of every line in the paving it was putrid the dirtiest motel i have ever seen. It was a joke i don't know how people stay there. I wouldn't stay there if it cost nothing

THe staff were never there or available, the games room advertised was non existent, the BBQ had no gas bottle, the other residents were letting their kids jump off the roof into the pool scaring the younger children
