Mold, stains on sheets and beds, cigarette holes, smelled disgusting, ac was on in entire building but didn’t work, employee picking nose, swears on signs, chlorine on top of smelling like cigarettes hit you as soon as you walk in. The pool water looked thick, elevator was bouncing while the door was closing, my daughter had a nose bleed out of both nostrils as soon as we left the building. No we did not stay we requested a refund because it was horrible!

Never again

We were traveling for business and didn't plan to spend much tome in the room. We chose this place based on price. It took about 20 minutes to check in even though I reserved on the app. There were 3 of us in our party and they only gave us towels for 2 people. The first night we listened to a child run back and forth in the room above us. I asked the manager to do something and he told me to call the police on them..?? We didn't do that. Later that evening I killed a roach that ran across my bed. The exterior entrance didn't lock so anyone could walk in the building at anytime The carpet in the halls was really stained and discolored. Breakfast did not have many options and they want you to eat in the cafeteria only. Also there are no coffee makers in the room.

Just Passing Through

The people that I saw while there were friendly and everything worked out ok. I left early in the morning and the lobby was locked up so I couldn't officially check out but it was comfortable. The only thing that I wished is that I could have plugged in my electric car to get a charge but it was a priority for this stay.

Guy working the front desk at check-in time was nice. But property was not well maintained. Elevator was scary. It shook and felt like it was going to break down. I get that I was in a smoking room, which wasn't my top choice, but the whole floor with smoking rooms absolutely reeked. You could still put some deodorizers or something so it wouldn't smell so bad. Didn't try pool. Carpet looked old and dirty. Overall a pretty poorly operated motel.

Stay away

This was easily the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The building was disgusting. All of it. elevator making huge noises and stopping mid way going up. People hanging around with doors open. Smells awful. I literally left and got a different hotel that night.

ZERO stars if if could! DO NOT believe the pictures! It’s severely run down, carpets are properly original to the place and don’t look like they have ever been cleaned. The whole place smells like stale cigarettes, even with a non-smoking room. Mold, dirt, grime on so many areas of the room, looks like they just pulled the bed linens up and didn’t put new sheets on it. He put us in the back on the 1st floor - we immediately turned around when we saw the room condition and there was a drug dealing going on. NO THANK YOU! We immediately turned in the keys, didn’t even get our bags in the room, he refused a refund… We went and stayed right down the street at a nice, well lit, very clean hotel. Where you wouldn’t be afraid of catching some disease or bacteria just from looking at it.
