Glitzy means extravagently showy and gaudy, characterized by shiny jewelry, eye-catching clothes, furnishings and decorations. The term implies something fake - being showy and getting attention for its own sake.

Hello Safaa,
It usually means showy in a tasteless way.
The hotel is dazzling, yet in a superficial manner.
Its display could be also vulgar.
In your sentence it is a negative connotation , where it is not worth staying in such an hotel.
