The property was under construction and it was awful and actually scary. We ended up not staying because it was that scary. There were broken windows, a broken air-conditioned in the lobby, trash everywhere. It smelled like feces in the lobby bathroom. There was a smashed car just sitting in the parking lot. I felt unsafe to have my kids there.

This location should be shutdown, its in terrible, terrible condition, rundown, everything broken. Trash everywhere, my room which was the third attempt at something acceptable the door would not lock and I left after discovering bed bugs. The staff were not responsive, they even gave me room key for an occupied room. There is open prostitution and possibly drug activity in the parking lot. The pictures on the site do not match at all.

The sofa bed that was in the room was real dirty look like it had bedbugs before they tried to switch me to another room that sofa bed was the same way the hotel is not the way it is presented online the morning when I woke up to take a shower the showerhead did not work. I had to stand up and take a bath.

This place is is under new construction so they don’t tell you that once you arrive. The hot water in the bathtub was extremely hot so there was no cold water to take your shower. They are very short on towels that they supply you in each room so you have to keep asking for dry towels and wash rags to take a bath.

I don't know why this place is even listed! It looks abandoned. I didn't even bother checking in. If the inside reflects the outside, I wouldn't have my worst enemy stay there! To make matters worse, I couldn't cancel.....absolute waste of money.

The hotel is very dirty and does not look at all like the pictures on the website. The carpet is dusty and dirty, the couches are dirty, and the room smells nasty. The bed was not made and the rooms were very dark because lights were not working. There was trash overflowing for days, the grass had not been cut, and the hotel was cluttered with old air conditioners, drywall, and outdated furniture. I only stayed because there was nowhere else to go at such a late hour. This was a terrible experience. The hotel was understaffed and unhealthy. I would caution anyone to find other means than this hotel.

Not even close to what I had booked. It was a mess. Bedding was disgusting. Full of stains, floors were gross not swept or washed. Couch arms are black the couch is red. The whole property is over grown. The foot path in back also. Sheets off wood. The fountain in front hasn't been painted or on in years. The building outside is falling apart. Inside had this smell I couldn't explain. The pool looked the same. I checked in at 11:00 at night I was traveling with my 11-year-old. And when we got into the bed to turn it down that's when I noticed all of the stains the gum. I had to run back out to the car to grab our traveling blankets so I laid a sheet and then our blankets on top of us. I checked out and didn't stay the next night. I'd give it a negative five.

The entire place is run down. It feels as if a hotel that was on a YouTube video of urban exploration was bought, spiced up just ever so slightly, and opened up. Very backrooms feeling. Not dirty in our room per se but incredibly old and decrepit. Honestly if you can avoid it, I’d find something else.

Once a fine hotel, this place is in total disrepair - and has been for several years. Trash in the parking lot and behind the building, unemptied trash cans. Tv - didn't work. Furniture looked cheap, old and scuffed up. These things were obviously bought at the hotel auctions when nicer properties get rid of dated things for pennies... and then placed here. Entire facade of the building has been removed. Don't let them say it was the tornado - it looked awful before that. Take my advice, spend the extra and go elsewhere. Hard to believe this meets local code. Maybe no one checks?

The exterior is getting redone, hopefully they do some work on the inside as well. This is an old Clarion, so you can see the bones of what used to be a nice hotel in here. There were dead bugs and spills on the floor, the elevator moves so slowly between the only two floors that I thought it was broken, and the walls are so thin you can hear that every door beeps on and off for 30 seconds after opening. There are broken windows on several first floor rooms, leading to a trashy image.

We recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, it leaves a lot to be desired. The general facilities are in desperate need of a major update and a deep clean. The room itself is also very outdated and urgently needs a remodel, but I will say I was genuinely grateful that it was, at the very least, clean. ​The breakfast was very disappointing—just bare-bones and scarce. And the coffee was terrible. Even by regular American coffee standards, it was so watered down it looked like coffee-flavored tea. I honestly thought it was decaf! ​It’s obvious that the hotel is severely short-staffed, which probably explains the poor upkeep of the common areas. I appreciate the clean room, but the property as a whole needs a lot of attention.
