We checked in to our room and ended up checking out an hour or so later. The room was by the pool on the 1st level (is where all king beds are lobated) The room was dark and had a moist and stink slate smell. Folks were hanging out in and all around the buildings. When we went to check out the person at the desk jagged stating why, he just said “oh well, you lost your money”! Absolutely terrible!!! When we got in the car, we both literally stitched of the stale smell of the room! Terrible experience!!!!

I made a reservation at this property, but when I arrived to check in, they took my deposit, I did the paperwork and when the front desk asked for my ID and saw that I was a orlando Florida resident, he would not allow me to check in and told me that this property does not take Orlando residence. That they only rent their hotel out to people that are out of state and are not from Orlando that are 50 miles away. I asked Why didn’t no one tell me that when I made the reservation and I asked to get my money back and they said no!
