Water leaking

We told the man at the front desk that our bathroom fan was leaking and he told us it was because the room above us didn’t have a shower curtain?

Much better inside than the outside looks! Thankful for hot eggs and sausage at breakfast instead of usual cold/carb-based choices. Good value.

Look Somewhere Else

This property was rated "Very Good" on Hotels.com but it was NOT! When we drove up to the place I thought it was abandoned because of the trashy looking parking lot and there is no such thing as landscape. Since I had prepaid I went ahead and went in. The place smelled clean and looked fairly well on the inside. We dropped our things off and headed out to visit family. When we got in late that evening and went to crawl into bed we found a massive hairball between the sheets. It was disgusting. It totally creeped me out and made me very skeptical of how clean the place really was. The front desk sent new sheets but I was really grossed out...and did not sleep very well. The next night when we returned to our room no one had come to our room to service it. Our dirty towels laid on the bathroom floor, the trash was still there, and our beds had not been made. I would absolutely NOT recommend this place. It was a very uncomfortable stay and I'm glad to be home after two long nights of little to no rest.

The rooms were very dusty and walls were not clean. I could tell that they were not washing down the coffee pot tray after each visitor cause they were very dusty with hair and thick lint on them. I understand the hotel is in highly dusty area however that should provoke the employees to clean even more thoroughly. The staff are great need the rooms to match the service provided by staff.

The room was suitable for one night. The staff was friendly. There were a few downsides. The pool was out of order which was unfortunate. The bed could’ve used more comfortable bedding. Also the toilet paper left in the bathroom was dirty
