Disappointing stay: Beware misleading pics
Location, location, location! That's what drew me to this hotel, but unfortunately, that's where the excitement ends. The 'resort' name is a stretch - it's more like a budget motel. Picturesque online images don't reflect reality. This place needs serious renovation (which, thankfully I think, is underway). For now, expect: - Uncomfortable, hard-spring beds (think sore mornings) - Limited parking (be prepared to walk from down the street, not ideal with little ones especially after sunset) - Sketchy vibes (not what you'd expect from a 'resort') - The area photographed with the chairs and fire pit was not big enough to accommodate the people here, maybe 10 at the most. -Ac didn’t cool enough and made weird noises all night -Shower was not working properly and made loud noises, water would come out of the top and bottom Silver linings: - Soft sheets and pillows - Prime location near the water - Bathroom has complimentary “dove” shampoo, body wash, conditioner, lotion and hand soap. Definitely feels like that king dollar dove though, if you know what I mean. -Live band on site Don't get me wrong, potential is there. Renovations might transform this place. Until then, set realistic expectations. *Price doesn't match quality.* Consider alternatives. *Rating:* 1/10 *Recommendation:* Wait for renovations or choose another option, San Luis hotel next door was literally cheaper and looked 100000% better than this. Regretted choosing this one over that one.
