Mikaela, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Floors were very filthy. However, on the last week of our stay we had a fire. Now it has been a week and still have not received our refund because they could not give us a room with 2 queen beds.
Channon, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely was not expecting the hotel to look different then the pictures. The pool was not open for memorial weekend. We were afraid to see what the breakfast was like that they served because they hotel was so run round. But it was not to bad of a place to stay for a cheap room.
Beth, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the worst property I have ever seen. Checked in looked at our room and left and found another hotel. Felt very unsafe.
Jill, 1-night trip

Eric, 1-night trip

Worst experience ever.

No working heater so they used a portable space heater instead.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property is in a convenient area, easily accessible. The condition of the rooms is very poor. The furniture, sheets and towels were all stained. The toilet seat was damaged and the shower handle was very loose, so it took a lot of time to calibrate the temperature of the shower. The room was over all depressing to be in.
Mary Ellen, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There were cockroaches. The paint was coming off the wall. The room smelled like smoke and felt dirty.
Daniel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Needed updated. Lobby was rough and seemed dirty. Old property. Big gap in door and old bathroom. Only 1 ice machine in 2nd building. Advertise a hot tub and NO HOT TUB. Only reason we picked this hotel. Wouldn't stay again
Brandon, 1-night trip

Super desagradable la peor experiencia de alojamiento. Sabanas sucias. El baño en mal estado. Olor a cigarro en la habitacion. Pesimo
Johanna, 2-night trip

Meh

Maybe worth it if the final price is $55. After taxes and charges I was near $100. The photo is the gap under my door.

This was the filthiest most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I’m deathly allergic to animals and they said this room had no pets. It stunk It was 1 am and couldn’t get another Uber or find another room that late. Took 4 asthma treatments for the next 5 hours. It needs bulldozing
