Check in was a pain!! Room smells very dusty, wet, musty. A/C specifically on the top left is full of clumps of dust! Entrance with key through side doors is unaccessible! I went out to smoke a cigarette late at night and see an SUV backed into a wooded area on the property but not. I booked on Expedia originally when I went to check in I'm told no cash, I get there maybe around 1am and told I still have to check out at 11am! Front desk says I can't use my Expedia check in because my boyfriend was paying with his card instead! Just to get a room he said I couldn't check in till the next day!? Acted as if he was helping me out by getting me in. For the price alone it's not worth it!!

This has to be the worst place that we have ever stayed. The rooms (we had 2) were so humid that the carpet (original from 1982) was always wet and well as the tiling he bathroom. The furniture also original from 1982 was falling apart. The bathroom doors were metal and rusty. The was and doors in the hallways were dirty. The establishment has more a a prison feel that a hotel. The room keys for both rooms needed to be changed daily as they stopped working. The door on the north side of the property was stopped working and would accepts any of the guests key cards. The whole place smells like mildew

By far the worst hotel I’ve ever been to. This place reminded me of the Cecil Hotel that they based an entire season of AHS on. If we weren’t stranded in the area without a back up plan, we would have left immediately but we had been driving for 8 hours and had an early morning appointment.
