It was a tropical atmosphere with smiling staff! Greeted warmly upon arrival. Offered water. Check in was smooth and I stayed in the 700 block of rooms on the ground level. Room was large with comfortable queen beds. Large bath with double sinks and a place to put my stuff. Small table with 2 chairs, double 3 drawer dressers. Very NICE! Outdoor area was beautiful and enjoyed my 3 nights there.

This is, easily, the worst experience of my life with a hotel. In fairness, I believe it was the app/site inflating the importance; do not believe the reviews. This was the first time I used them, as I was in a bind and needed something in the vicinity. It is a decent MOTEL. The staff is very friendly. Nothing else about the property is worth discussing and the rooms smell like…ammonia. (I am deleting the Hotels.com app immediately)

I paid $150 pet fee, $200 in resort fees, $35 in self parking. Room was not updated, no regular coffee for the coffee machine and no sugar/creamer. Breakfast not included. Security was called b/c our dog barked minimally and they took a picture of my spouses drivers license and allowed the occupant to harrass him. In total, I paid close to $1000 for one night for a regular room & one balcony view suite room with 1 bed. I will never book here again. It was a disaster and it was my Wedding honeymoon in the area.
