Not sure how this hotel gets top ratings. Our room was by front main street. Bed was all torn up underneath; we were concerned about bed bugs. Luckily, we didn’t see any. Floor hadn’t been clean in a while, so we had to wear slippers. The pool outside is creepy at night and not well lit, so don’t go alone. Otherwise, the stay was ok.
