“This budget option seemingly struggles with consistent upkeep and cleanliness, which is a concern. While some guests may find the beds acceptable, reports of smoke odors and maintenance issues, like a closed pool, detract from the experience. The surrounding area's atmosphere is also something to consider when booking.”
