Terrible property. There was an unbelievable amount of what appeared to be Drug addicted, homeless people surrounding the property. The rooms were dirty and a stench of cigarettes.

Hotel need some major upgrades, and cleaning. There were cockroaches, and dust everywhere. The false ceiling can fall down any time. Also there is a bad smell. Location is good, and lot of potential with proper handling.

Will not be coming back.

Upon entering the room it had a terrible sewage/stale cigarette smell in a non smoking room. One the of pillows still had makeup on it from the previous guest. We informed the front desk that we need new sheets because of the makeup covered pillow and left again for the evening. 5 hours later we returned to the bed remade but the pillow with the making STILL HAD THE DIRTY PILLOW CASE ON IT. Went to front desk to get another pillow case and they said they didnt have any at the front desk, she reluctantly then gave me 2 pool towels. There were burns marks in the comforter as well. There was hair in the shower and the drain was in disrepair. The mirror looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a very long time. Unfortunately the staff I encountered werent all that friendly to top it all off.

The room was almost 90 degrees with the air being off. Took several hours for the room to cool down. Room was dirty, property was completely run down. The place looked like it should be condemned.

They dirt under my sock indicated that the floor was dirty. An earring fell and went under the bed. When moved back, under yhe bed was full of dirt, dust and crumbs. One of the bedspreads had two cigarette burn holes in it. I killed 7 green flies in the room. There was a trash can near the steps by room which may account for this.

Staff was friendly but beyond that it was nothing to write home about. Glad we were only there for a few hours to sleep. Not a nice room and breakfast was sorely lacking.

I cancelled my 2nd night and went somewhere else. Vents had mold, light bulbs had been stolen, the fridge didn’t work well causing my food to spoil, there was a weird loud whining sound that kept going off, and it just felt unsafe. I feel embarrassed for thinking this place would be an okay idea. If you want safety, look elsewhere.

The room was in dire need of repair. A plug was hanging out of the wall. Mirror trim was loose and about to fall from the top. Sheets and pillow cases were stained. Definitely not the room i saw in pictures. Bed was ok. People standing outside room smoking and carrying on was disruptive. It was close to interstate and our event we came here for. And the pool was clean. I didnt swim.
