The room was quiet; however, this is a two rating because the floors, especially around the bath tub was dirty. I had to look for the plug for the microwave, because it had been unplugged. There was nothing for the guests. No coffee even, that most guests would expect. He just looked at me and said they did not have anything, and said "Sorry" They were nice, but they need a professional to walk the rooms and get them back on track. I had to find the maintenance man to figure out how to turn on the TV, because someone previously had changed the normal settings, so that could probably play games on the TV. These things should always be checked before a new guest goes in the rooms. Thank you for reading my message. Hopefully this will help.

Sept. 9 through Sept. 11

The exterior of the hotel is terrible. It looks like a place you could rent by the hour. My mother was going to refuse to stay there. However, the rooms were very nice and clean.. the selection of tv channels is awful there were no network stations available. Also there were no phones in the rooms. My bathroom sink got plugged up and we were moved to another room right away.

I have never been in a place as horrible as this one, and I have traveled to many low $ places while traveling with my both my boys for soccer and baseball. I stayed here 1 night out of 4 that I payed for. The beds are horrible, the carpet was originally red (I think), but I never took my shoes off. The only night I actually tried to stay 3 people tried to use a key to get into my room and only stopped when I yelled "EXCUSE ME!!! Can I help you?", "No, sorry" then 2 other people were just pounding on my door to let them in..LIKE 2AM "EXCUSE ME!! CAN I HELP YOU!!!?" Response "LET ME IN!!" DISGUSTING PLACE, DISTUSTING PEOPLE, DISTUGSTING PROPERTY. DO NOT STAY HERE EVER, EVEN IF YOU'RE DIEING. SOMEWHERE ELSE IS BETTER

What I didn’t like about this room was that the restroom was dirty the toilet seat had pee on it… The window near the restroom had no screen and had a pole in the window for “security”… And not to mention, we spent like 15 Trying to look for the remote control for the TV there wasn’t one. We had to call front desk to bring us a remote and he spent 30 minutes in the room programming it… The mattress had a huge dent on one side in the top and the mattress was super thin and not to mention the thin pillows as well. I am not exaggerating… I did enjoy the pool The pool was clean… But the area around the outside had chairs everywhere that had been tipped over and there was actually two chairs inside of the pool at the bottom of the pool… And at night maybe like at 3 AM we heard arguing outside of our room… I could only appreciate that I was not sleeping on the street… I would probably not come back here and I would not recommend. I really wish I could’ve enjoyed myself better

Not great

Situation seemed decent when we arrived- nothing great, by any means, but stayable. Then we started making discoveries. First off, I needed to use the restroom when we got everything brought in from the car. The toilet had the room service tape over it, indicating that the toilet was cleaned- it was not. There were poop splatters all over the inside of the bowl. We started to clean it, but then decided that was not our responsibility, and requested someone come to clean it. The person working gave us a new room and apologized. In the new room, there were long hairs all over the pillows, the floor and the shower walls. There was some urine under the toilet seat, and boogers on the wall next to the toilet but at that point we just cleaned them ourselves as best we could with toilet paper and dealt with it. We ended up taking the pillows from the previous room to make ourselves feel less weird about sleeping on them. The faucet in the shower was severely corroded but everything worked, at least. The staff, at least was friendly and apologetic. I would not stay there again, but it wasn’t the worst place to have stayed.

I stayed here for a little bit while I was waiting on my new permanent residence to be available. I booked a few days at a time because there wasn't a set date to as when it would be available. They charged me $20 extra every time I had to add days, and not only was the staff incredibly rude but the rooms were less than subpar. When I just had two days left they had me move rooms all the way on the other end of the property and I have no car and had to carry all my things from on end of the property to the other. I had booked a room with the same size bed etc. While after I get settled in I go to charge my phone and only one outlet is working to hold a charger in it. The rest of them are halfway hanging off the wall. I tried to shower next. The plumbing in there was horrible and I don't know how I finally got it to work. I finally try to put the television on to decompress and go to bed and it doesn't work either. I call the front desk and an hour goes by and no one comes. So, I go to the front desk and he says he's coming. After another 30-45 minutes later nothing. I go up there again. He says he's working on it, so I decide to stay and wait until he does. He says he is going to try and fix it from there first. That it might be the connection and it does it all the time. So, I was willing moved to a room that they knew needed repairs. It's also about 9 pm on a Sunday at this point so I don't think there was anyone available at that time to help with this.

Got in trouble for having too many people in my room. After management warned me I kicked everyone out and everything was fine. The manager still proceeded to shame me again in the parking lot in front of all the other people staying. He said my actions cause discomfort with the other people staying but somehow him yelling at me didn't it? The stay was very affordable tho! Very dirty room, holes on the carpet, mold in the fridge and rust in the bathroom.
Broken phone.
Scratches on wall. Paint peeling.
The black spots is mold.
Mold in shower.
