People were nice. Key worked but had to use my shoulder to open as it was stuck. Water pressure low but water hot. Nice accessible shower. Humidity in room high so we used our dehumidifier. Pool was green.

Day 1 of stay…..turned down blanket to reveal bloody sheets. It was 11:30 pm so we accepted a room change and it appeared to be clean. Day 2 no service to room. Towels, soap, washcloths weren’t replaced and room was not cleaned. Both days we were with an ill family member and did not arrive at hotel till near midnight. So stayed that night and cancelled the last day and came home.

Don’t do it

I would not even stay even though it was too late to cancel. That’s how bad it was. It looked like the place was about to fall down. Do not book this place.

When we arrived we were not allowed in the building. Met the receptionist at I would call a walk up window. I was informed there is no continental breakfast even though it says it online. If you want coffee you can tell her and she will make it for you. We had a shower where the water went onto the bathroom floor. Three small pillows. Bed was comfortable and did have a tv. Pool was green so couldn’t swim. Location is good which is next to Highway. Rooms are inexpensive so if looking just to lay your head it’s good for the price.

Turned around at the desk and never even checked in. Roof collapsing and pieces laying in pool area. Some fool fixing a car in main parking lot, looked like 2 “ladies” of the night towards the street and definitely was concerned with drug labs and bed bugs. Still requesting full reimbursement since never stayed but was charged. Good luck with that i’m sure because the place needs to be torn down.

Worst place we have ever stayed in. The door didn’t close, room was very dirty. Homeless people outside walking around the hotel. Beware. Very dirty hotel.
They had bags over the smoke detectors. And it was going off.
Bed had hand marks on it, such a disgusting room. Floor was dirty. Bathroom was filthy

Not as advertised. Assigned room had black mold around bathtub and had been smoked in. Second room had multiple spiders in bathroom. Third room was acceptable. Breakfast is not provided nor was coffee available in lounge as advertised. I cannot recommend this hotel.
