Bed was clean, even checking in late at 12:40a there were parties in rooms, check in staff was very nice, bed was clean but room smelled of old cigarettes and old vomit. I was exhausted from an 8 hour drive with no other options so I went to sleep but woke up and the smells were even stronger. Would not recommend

Live and learn

Furniture old and needs updating, bed smelled like bleach, shower had no water pressure or ever got hot, WiFi didn’t work, tv reception was poor, if you just need cheap, quick overnight, but I stayed for week and I wasted my money, pay extra a get cancelation ability just in case, or pay for the good hotels, I think the bargain isn’t one

Very bad

Not safe, not family friendly. People staying at the hotel are smoking marijuana in the parking lot. It seems most of the people staying at this hotel are living there long-term. Lobby door appears to be permanently locked and you have to do your service through a sliding window. When we checked out I had to ring the button for service and the man helping us was in his pajamas at around 9am. Starting at 3:00 a.m. people were playing on their phone in the outdoor hallway. They were playing games very loudly till 6:00 a.m. I'm assuming they were homeless because there were several homeless people hanging around the property. Someone could not pay me to stay at this hotel again. It's dangerous it's not safe. There were toenails clippings on the floor inside. The heating air conditioner unit was making an extremely loud noise so we could not use it. Every single step on the stairs is cracked broken and uneven. It's dangerous to walk upstairs. There is no elevator

Didn't like anything. Condition of the property was terrible, overpriced rooms, super hard uncomfortable beds, things falling apart and rusty. Pool unusable.
