The front desk person was nice but the property was scary. The room was gross and smelled of stale cigarettes. There was some shady characters staying and wandering around so we chose to vacate and stay somewhere else safer.

Not great.

Very dirty. Tv was busted and had weird mold spots in the first room. Second room had roaches. Hotel desk clerk was extremely nice and they gave us a refund no issues. Decent people just a terrible hotel. The pool looked decent.

OK for Quick Over-nighter w/ VERY LOW Expectations

Desk personnel were very good. Room had a couple issues with broken items, for example the toilet paper holder, but was clean and comfortable. Breakfast advertised, but I went by at 6:10am and there was cold cereal, a coffee machine, really old pump creamer containers (creamer separated or overly thick), and a juice machine.

I made the mistake of not changing the number of people for the booking and when I went to the front desk to ask for more toilet paper & towels I was told they couldn’t give any due to the booking being for only 1 person. I would not stay here again
