The rooms were okay, however the walls were very thin and I could hear the people next to me snoring, loudly. The carpeting in the room wasn't very clean, and the tv was hard to operate (remote buttons didnt work well). The pool got very VERY dirty, and unless you wanted to sit on uncomfortable woven plastic mats and stained pool chairs you have to get to the pool right when it opens. The hammock area was nice-ish but there weren't enough, everytime I wanted to use them they were all full. There were little beanbag-like chairs, but only three of them. I did hear that the hotel was a renovated motel, and if it is, they didn't do much. The tiles in the bathroom look super tacky, and the water pressure is more like a soft drizzle (shower). The bedsheets were scratchy, and stuff, but the beds were decently comfortable. The restaurant was mediocre. We ordered a date shake, but it tasted mire like horchata than anything else. The food was more of a love it or hate it kinda deal. And in my case, it was a hate it. The shuttle service was terrible. We rode it downtown, but we waited at the pick up spot fot 45 minutes, and when we called just afyer the pickup time (we had arrived 10 min before) they said they had already picked up the other people and driven back. The hallways and stairwells had a really bad smell. Thr hallways were like a really cheap fruity air freshener that had gone bad, and the stairwells just smelled like week-old pee. Not to mention the trash strewn around the stairs. In the window there were two cans that were there the entire time I stayed there. However the bright colors and relaxing "vibe" were good. I love the LGBTQ pride, including the krave pool party and diverse staff.
