Lots of cockroaches and bugs. Lots of hair and crumbs on the bedsheets. I saw a stain on one of my pillows. Even after I asked them to change my bedsheets, still saw a lot of hair.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
the staff were super helpful, they allowed me to check in a few hours early (with a call ahead). parking was not a hassle and getting to my room was fine, but it was noisy at night, the door to our room was worrisome as you could hear and see on the inside but on the outside it looked normal. in all honesty i probably would stay again there is absolutely nothing better (i know there’s worse).

Disliked: Amenities
Room smelled very fresh. At our location (room 105) it was very noisy with people. The room was situated in front of three handicap parking spaces where we couldn't even park our car but others parked there to unload at all hours of the night. The door had a gap even when locked and the roar from the highway was always audible.
The coffee was flavorful but ended at 9:00 a.m.
Hotel situated close to a waffle House, an Asian restaurant and a taco stand that made delicious tacos.
was nice overall, the door dead bolt thing was broke n my husband sliced his finger up but the staff was very friendly n great n came quick with first aid ! def would stay again next trip down there !
The staff is friendly but the room is not very clean and very stuffy since the ac unit does not work. Though it was reported and the “exchanged” the unit but it’s replaced with one that seems to be in worse condition. I tried asking for a different room with a working unit but seems more a hassle as they just offer to “fix” or exchange it instead. Though the room is non-smoking but the door is not very seal so people smoking outside will come into the room. Also there were a couple little gecko that showed up. The mini fridge in the room does not really work either but at least there’s a microwave so if you need to heat up food and get the room more hot and stuffy, it will get the job done.
