The room was enough for me and my 4 kids to sleep peacefully. The tv had cartoons for the kids. The water pressure and temperature were amazing. I also got to examine the room before submitting payment for my deposit. I was also over 4 hours late checking in with no issues

There was no hot tub that we could find. The bed was comfortable. The rooms are extremely old and in disrepair. Housekeeping only emptied the garbage and replaced towels only made one bed once. Every day we went out and when we returned we had to walk back to the office to get our key reset.

Shelby

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was okay. Not good by any means. I don’t think it was worth what I paid (even on Expedia). My room was decent, upstairs and relatively clean thank God. I read many poor reviews after booking (in my defense, they were posted literal days after I booked) and was genuinely terrified. I think my room was recently remodeled, bc the AC actually worked. It wasn’t the worst hotel on the road but it was pretty dang close. Bc of the location, I was scared to walk out of my room unnecessarily. As in, while waiting for my Uber after checking out, a windowless white van pulled in off the highway and the man inside rolled down the window saying that he could “take me for a ride.” If you’re in a group or with a male-presenting person, you’d probably be fine. If you’re a single female like me, I’d spend the extra $100 to avoid the irl child kidnapping van. The staff was nice tho.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Service people were generally very kind and helpful. When we returned to pick up forgotten items, they provided them efficiently. The inside doorlock was missing, so that needs repair. After I'd checked with the main office in the morning to extend our time by 1/2 hour, another man came to the door and persisted in telling me I had to do more by going to the office, even though I kept telling him I had already done so. Fearing him, I finally had to close the door on him.

The most important part of this room is it was economical and clean. Cleanliness is important to me. Breakfast wasn't fancy but had refrigerated sandwiches to heat up in microwave. Yogurt fruit and bagels also. Thank you

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in was pretty easy and fast. Room wasn’t far from check in. Room was pretty clean. Toilet worked but also didn’t. Shower was good. For the price the room is good. The only problem was getting my deposit back the first night. I had to literally question the guy to get it back. He gave me a receipt that explained nothing and told me money is back on the card but wasn’t. So I walked back in and said hey man I need something better that explains I am getting my deposit back like you said. Gave me another receipt then I said. This receipt doesn’t show or state the deposit I gave you. He then manually released it and I instantly got my $50 deposit back. It’s almost as he was trying to see if I was a fool and just left. After, that night. He has been more simple with me. I would still stay here if there is no other options

I had to asked to a room with safety lock after 3 rooms found one. Toilet stopped flushing. Fixed promptly then broke again. Key card had to be reset 3times in just a 2 day stay. Staff very friendly and professional and very prompt to resolve my complaints. Pool was nice. Unfortunately the were installing a new roof during my brief stay which was loud for a Saturday. No work on Sunday but that was probably because of thunderstorms all day til 3pm. Room was relatively clean but did find some dead fruit flies in room. Did have good AC and working fridge and microwave a plus. If you are not staying in room except to sleep it will pass but not for confort.
