Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
Wasn't a huge fan of this place. The staff weren't very friendly and the sign says happy hour until 8:30, but they said it now ends at 8. They overcharged burgers for multiple people in our group. The property is rundown and the doors are both hard to open and loud. I'd never recommend staying here. They clearly take advantage of tourists and overcharge everything they can.
