The room was a nice size, however the bed was very dirty. The bathroom set up was weird. I prefer the sink and bathtub to not be so close to the toilet. It was difficult to move in and out the bathroom. The cold water in the shower was hot, and vice versa.

Disliked: Amenities
Front desk staff doesn’t care. They are busy in chit chatting with each other when customers are waiting to check in. Told 30 minutes to wait but the actual wait was around 90 minutes for check in. The fridge wasn’t working. Room didn’t look clean. It’s the very basic property, don’t get fooled by good reviews because they had nothing better to compare. One other customer was comparing it with some road side motel. You get the idea, keep this in mind.

Worst experience ever

It was the worst experience ever, the pool was closed and nobody told until after they always took my money, also I couldn’t get towels, I repeatedly asked, they kept saying they would get us some & never did, we couldn’t even shower in the morning, also my neighbors were in & out all night knocking on the door all hours of the night waking my dog and kids up multiple times! I will never stay there again! Name says Hotel but it’s more like a motel who cater to prostitution & Drug addicts!
