Dirty

Lobby smelled liked cigarette smoke because the smoking area is literally right out front the main entrance. Carpets were dirty, torn and miss matched. In our room the mirrors had hand prints on them, 1 put of 5 light Bulbs worked on the ceiling track light. Went to move the ottoman and one of the wheels fell off. Pool was a disgusting green color that made you not even want to try to swim. Breakfast was a $7 add on per person and wasn’t even worth it, rubber eggs, sausage patty oatmeal was the main offering. Parking lot was full of cigarette butts and unkept. The floors in our room were dirty. The bathtub was slippery and there wasn’t a non skid mat. I was told at check in that because we stayed multiple nights the room would only be cleaned upon request. The only decent thing was the beds were semi comfortable.

The property was in poor condition, the carpet on the 2nd story was literally duck taped together. Room needed to be deep cleaned, towels and linens seemed fine, other than there was no skirt to the bed, just open box spring. Dust bunnies, dirty walls, and furniture. Ended up canceling our room. The staff was very nice and helpful. Even asked how they could improve, but most pf it is beyond them. The hotel needs to be renovated.

Don’t recommend staying here

Our room looked like it was never swept or dusted. The bath tub drain was filled full of hair so it wouldn’t drain. And the thermostat fell off the wall in my hand. They put different ones in and left the old ones just sitting in the hole with the electric cut off to it. They put in a new control for the air conditioning and heat but no way to tell what temperature you have it set on. The hallways had a strange odor to them.

The property was a bit run down, but the staff was friendly and very accommodating and helpful. We had to request to be moved to a different room as the air conditioning was not working in our room and it was very uncomfortable. There was also a huge hole in the ceiling where a ceiling vent should have been. The front desk reception was very nice and upgraded us to a better room. Once we got settled - it was fine. The location was good right off of the lively walking mall area where the bars and restaurants were.

Checking in was fine but that was only thing that was good. We went up to the 3rd floor where our room was and the air conditioner wasn't working so the hallway was so hot it was almost unbearable and the floor was extremely dirty. When we went into our room it was dirty the entire floor was sticky the shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned and we were expecting that we would have queen sized beds not doubles so it was very uncomfortable since we didn't fit on the beds. My daughter couldn't plug her phone in because the plug next to the bed she was using didn't work and over half the light bulbs were burnt out. The entire experience was awful and I won't be staying at this location again

I have stayed here several times renting a king room. It was clean and no problems. This last time I had my daughter with me so I rented two queen room which is on the other wing of the motel. It was horrible. We were showed 3 different rooms and none of them felt clean, the shower's either didn't have a curtain that stayed up, one didn't have a water nozzle to even turn the water on. the carpet in the halls were torn and tapped together. All the floors were dirty. We left but still got charged. Now I have to get the charges off my credit card.
