It was close to where we wanted to stay. There was only 1 room available with 2 beds so when we found out the toilet did not flush we were not able to change rooms. The front desk came immediately to check but had to call for maintenance to come. Not at the property - had to wait almost 2 hours. Did not arrive until 9:30 PM which is not acceptable after a long day of driving.

Absolutely disgusting hotel! The location was sketchy, with no good restaurants close by. The outside of the building looked like homeless people lived there, with no landscaping at all. A horrible odor permeated the whole hotel. When we arrived at our room, the door was propped open with a dirty towel. Our room had a broken window that wouldn't close, no sheer curtain (which made it very dark), and the carpet was filthy. The air conditioning unit clanked continuously, and the toilet handle had to be jiggled. A safety bar on the tub would have been helpful. The breakfast was so-so, but the juice wasn't chilled and the orange juice was brown. There were two good things - the staff was very friendly, and the refrigerator had a freezer. FIND ANOTHER HOTEL!!!

Area was kinda shady, but still was suitable. Rooms were decent. Had two beds in the room, but only one set of towels. The toilet seat was quite small, so be careful! Overall, I would stay here again for one night.

There was a $50 security deposit charged that is not mentioned before arrival that was never returned to me. I don’t smoke or have pets and I did no damage to the room, they had no reason not to refund my deposit.

I was hit with a million fees upon check in. Granted I should’ve read the “fine” print before signing my invoice. I booked online & went off what was posted online. Lady at the counter was bothered by the fact that she had to provide a service & it took her away from her phone call….it’s clearly just a pay check to her.

Bed could have been a brick for starters, the first room the lights barely worked and everything had a switch, yes even the ceiling fan had a switch above the bed rest. The furthest light had a switch behind the tv. And the toilet couldn’t even flush toilet paper, I get the saying is you get what you paid for but I could have at least had a toilet that could flush. Or the literal battle over breakfast watching 3 people push and shove to fill there 3 plates before we were disgusted and got food else where. Please stay at your own risk

Children on the second floor.

After we check in, noticed that the room above us had children and they were extremely noisy and stomping around very loudly. Went to the front desk and the man at the desk wasn’t helpful, I asked him to come and listen to the noise, he didn’t. We left and went and got dinner, came back and the noise level was still the same. He told me that no one was in the room above me. He followed me to our room, #116, heard the noise, and left. 10 more minutes, I go back to the front desk and there is also a lady there, they finally move me and my husband to a room on the opposite hallway to a king room.

Wowza... Spend the extra 30 and stay somewhere else. The TV gets no signal or channels...useless. When I asked the front desk they took the remote because, apparently, it wasn't the hotel's remote. They had to bring a new one...then the TV worked. The bed frames are rickety. You can hear the people walking above you, it's very loud!! The floorboards and fans probably never get cleaned. Corners and crevices are particularly gross. The pillows are cheap as hell and worn out, plus they only give two per bed...rather sad. One of the flat sheets had cigarette burns so I had to ask for a new one. The room smells of smoke even though it's a non-smoking room. You definitely get what you pay for 🙄. 10/10 would not recommend and I definitely won't be back. The only positives are the fact that there's a microwave and the check in personnel were friendly.

It was in a sketchy and dark area. Our toilet got clogged up and it took forever to get that taken care of. We needed towels and asked for them and they were in the wash then we never got them until I had to ask again. Didn't like that there was no pool. Not good for the price.
