(Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from US flag
30-Nov-2024 Verified Review, stayed from Wed Nov 27 to Sun Dec 01 2024 at a $200.74 average nightly rate.
"Old and run down hotel"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
The pool was nice. No towels available. Room was very old, dirty in places, Room was very expensive for such an old run down hotel. Yes it’s with a golf course but I have stayed in hotels in NYC cheaper and better in all ways. I will not be staying in a Choice hotel again… shameful! You should give refunds and close that hotel!
