Negative Reviews
negative:
Beware of hidden and extra charges
Many of the guests complained how they weren't informed about the additional charges during check-in. The said "resort fee" is also not mentioned at online reservation and purchases. This could be a big hassle as this fee is almost half the price you'll pay for a room.
negative:
Problematic check-in with Groupon users
There was a lot of confusion during check-in with guests who purchased reservations at Groupon. If you want an easy, smooth entrance, it may be wise to avoid using Groupon, as there seems to be many issues.
negative:
Pool area is not well maintained
Although the pool itself is well maintained and spotless, the pool area seems not to be taken care of. Moreover, the pool chairs have different stains on them, while trash sits on every corner.
