The entire place, exterior, office and my room reeked of cigarette smoke. Disgusting.
On the plus side, the room was clean and the front desk staff were very polite and friendly.

This place was so disgusting that we left without staying. Check in was a red flag as it looked like the inside of someone’s garage. We had to sign a hand written photo copied “no refunds” note before handed our room key. We got to our room and there was mold, hair, and stains on the bedsheet, the bathroom was filthy of feces all over the toilet, the room smelled terriblyodf mold and cigarette smoke, and there was a hole in the wall covered by a piece of laminate flooring screwed to the wall. We tried to get a refund but the office staff declined and offered to give us a new room. We chose to leave because the hotel was so gross and a new room probably wouldn’t have been any better.

Pleasantly surprised given the price point. It’s not a 5 star hotel but neither is the price.

It was super close to our venue and the staff was great.. but it was very dirty and gross and a couple outlets didn't work by the sink where you would need to get ready so it wasn't too convenient.. otherwise fine.

With very limited options in the area for festivals, this is about as good as you get. The staff are very friendly. Well the facilities are lacking.

It was the cheapest place...that was closest to where we had to be. But wouldn't recommend taking kids there. Or pets.
The bed was comfortable n the air-conditioning n cable worked. So it did it's purpose. But they need to teach the maids to actually clean.
