No pool!
Pool is closed. Breakfast was a loaf of bread & jar of peanut butter or two choices of cereal. No microwave in room, no coffee pot in room. No real blanket, just a thin acrylic one.

Thank you for the stay here at your hotel.
The stay was good. Good personality people. This hotel is something where I can recommend for people on lower budget. The manager is friendly. Thank you for letting me stay here.

The entire hotel was run down and very dumpy. The room I had must have just had the carpet cleaned as it was sopping wet. It looked like people were living there.
The tub had a large strip of some sort of tape covering up a crack.

Air conditioner worked great. Someone was smoking weed. Breakfast time was too short. Need ashtrays outside all doors, there were cigarette butts on the grounds by the doors.

Fine for a very quick one night stay.
Whirlpool was out of order. Hotel was extremely damp and warm. Hotel was run down and seemed a bit sketchy. Duct tape was holding the light above the shower in place. Rust around shower head. Beds and linens seemed fine. This was a one night stay and was fine for a quick overnight stay. Health inspector came at 9am and knocked on our door 2 hours before check out. Weird.
