The staff was NOT friendly at all. After staying there on and off for months they wanted to start charging me a pet fee of $22.50 a day for my dog which Id had with me the entire time! it was only when a certain employee worked that I was being harassed and treated differently and unfairly. and not to mention the surroundings arent pleasant either. And they started charging more for the pool and never even opened it

I was stranded due to weather, and had to wait till next day for my flight. Due to two other events going on in the area, most hotels were booked (or $600+). Found this hotel about 20 min from airport. The room was clean. The first room offered was occupied. In the next room offered, the A/C unit was disassembled in the room. This was the last room available that was non-smoking. I was told by the attendant that there was a smoking room available but it was known to have roaches. The attendant did try calling to the hotels next door to see if there was availability, but everything was booked. With no other hotels in the area available I stayed in the room with no A/C for the night. Thankfully I had added travel insurance to this stay, which I would recommend. You may have a great experience, I just had a lot of things working against me this one night.

No breakfast, condescending staff, TV did not work, no toilet paper, long black hairs everywhere, and some questionable damage to the ceiling. Definitely felt sketchy and unsafe. I observed quite a lot of illicit activities..

While we were about to go to sleep we saw a roach crawl down the wall. The bed was made but there were crumbs on it. A random qtip was on the floor. The tv didn’t work. Overall, it was not a great experience.
