Review We paid almost $400 per night for an old motel. There was a free shuttle from the airport. The rooms were clean but very dated. The breakfast room had seen better days. The chairs were old and the stuffing was very squishy. The tables were also worn and the one I sat was dirty. The breakfast was what you would expect from an old motel. The best that can be said is that the employees are very hardworking and pleasant. The hotel desperately needs a good refresh. Overall the room was very overpriced for what it was.

Update 12/18 - I have called the hotel everyday and they said I need to talk with Ignacio the Manager. I have left several messages and have yet to get a call back. They have charged me for a room that they could not provide. Ignacio - Please call me to get this resolved. 11/29 - We were given a room with soaking wet carpet. We asked for another room and they said all of the carpets were wet on the first floor and all rooms above were full. They had all been cleaned that day. The musty smell was overwhelming. I have asthma, so it was no option to stay. We asked the front desk to not check us in and get us a refund. She stated she did not know how to check us out and we were already checked in on their system. We were told that her manager would need to give us a refund the next day. She made a note that we did not go into the room and did not stay the night. I requested a refund that they denied, and stated the room was non-refundable. I paid for a room that they could not provide. We did not stay at the hotel. I have called the hotel multiple times and the manager has not returned my calls.
