The room was way over priced for where it's located. For a $190 for a night I'd expect it to be clean and top order. The bed was way to soft like it was wore out. The shower curtain rod was broken causing the shower curtain to hang in the center of the tub. There was used piece of soap in the tub along with hair clumps. I told the attendant she I'll put it in the notes. For a $190 I'd expect it to be taken care of.

Convenient location. Allowed pets which was critical to our decision. The cleanliness was way below average. Requested room as first was not vacuumed or dusted, plus the refrigerator was leaking water.Hotel owner graciously gave us another room which had not been vacuumed and there was hair in the bathtub. The point which stung was walking bare footed and seeing my souls turn black. No vacuum and probably never shampooed. Last, the grounds, building and pool need serious maintenance. A basic one very simple: caulk around the tub to cover the black dirt or fungus. Host and owner or manager very nice and accommodating.

Where do I begin, place needs to be leveled and rebuilt. Only thing we did was sleep on top of the stained sheets and took showers. I to check out early and staff said there are no refunds. The owner was not available, and the staff had no access to the computers. I took many photos and will be sending to Wyndham corp office. What a shame, no pool, rooms smelled and everything outdated. Purchased room deodorizers and carpet fresh at a near by Dollar store, along with blankets to lay on top of beds Please let me know if you want photos
Old furniture, smelly and torn
