The hotel is a very old single story with multipal buildings that are spread out. A long walk to breakfast and ice. A hole in the floor in the corner of the bath and hole in the wall by the doop that was filled with a paper towel. Furnishing was newer and ok. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. New firnature was being installed. AC was noisy.

I didn't like the fact the owner harassed customers by entering your room without knocking and the rooms really not clean i had to clean my own room and not cleaning the pool and you employees bring in they're hold family to eat breakfast and when time for the customer to eat it's nothing for them and telling customer's they take out foods to they rooms when the woman works the dinner area brings her hold family to come and takes foods out every single day since I been here and too much miss communication in this place

The coffee pot was disgusting with mold, the mini fridge/freezer had something black frozen all over a shelf, the microwave had food splatters inside. The deal breaker was being awakened to gunfire at 11:15pm. Girl came stomping past my room right after and repeated ‘I can’t believe that F blank shot at me, I can’t believe that f-ing blank shot at me! She can keep that PoS F-ing N- He don’t work no way. I can’t believe that f-ing B* shot at me!’ The front desk clerk said “it happens, they fight about erry 10 days”. I left at 11:30pm when the clerk wouldn’t call police. The grass looked like it hadn’t been cut in a month, and the toilet seat was broken.

I didn't make breakfast in time. I personally think that breakfast should shut down at 10AM instead of 9. Maintain the grass. The room was clean. The only issue with the room was that the shower head was loose and sprayed out the sides and onto the ceiling. Other than those small issues, the room was very clean.

Shower didn't get hot but the water in the sink was scalding hot. Spider webs were everywhere. The heating/cooling unit was busted open and didn't work properly. Wifi kept stopping and starting. I was informed by front desk that there was no clean sheets and towels because they were locked up and she didn't have a key and the laundry machines were broken.

The room smelled like a dirty AC filter. Lots of flies. The beds are DOUBLE, Not Queen. Hard and they had some kind of metal on the sides that were in the way. Breakfast was sausage, gravy, biscuits, no milk, juice, cereal, or eggs. We got there ant 8:30 annd there was nobody else there, and there was no food. Employee was mopping lobby floor during breakfast hours, which I thought was unsafe. Property is old and in need of major upgrades. Don’t let the pics fool You (like I did).

Front desk agent made multiple keys, switched our room twice and had to call the manager because nothing was working. I had to shown my receipt to prove I paid for 2 nights. After getting another room, I noticed blood splattered on the bathroom door and floor.

This was a last minute stay.We were tired from being on the road and needed a bed to sleep in. Bff always checks our room for everything, the only flaw was the shower curtain needs to be washed, if you are going to use cloth ones. The room was completely redone and amazing! Comfy beds, plenty of pillows,ac blasting cold. Used a coat hanger to clip the curtains tight. She was asleep within 15 minutes 😍

Acceptable stay. Room mainly looked nice. Bed was not particularly comfortable but there were different-firmness pillows, which is a nice touch because not everyone likes the same firmness. Bathtub was old. Shower water pressure was excellent. Internet was very good. It is very close to Waffle House and Wendy's. It is easy to hear guests who are in another room. I brought my ear plugs and slept okay.

The room was clean enough to stay and not go elsewhere. Property need updating. Staff charged my card before I arrived and again at departure causing overcharge. I was there 2 days front desk said I never checked in, but was charged the before arrival. Staff need to communicate with one another or at least pay attention to reservations and room assignments.

Property was dirty, load traffic noise, loud pickups in the parking lots which included the drunks. interior of the room was a disgrace, door handles to the bathroom did not fit, the bathroom door was stained from dirty hands. The furniture in the room was disgustingly dirty, the chair at the desk was torn. I was surprised as to how degraded the property was and stilling billing at such a high rate. I will never stay there again for health reasons. One has no idea what is clean and what is worn vs. dirty. I should have realized the area was unsafe based on the clerk being behind safety glass as soon as the sun went down. My recommendation would be to bulldoze the place and build something decent but the people they serve would just destroy the next facility. The property is so far back off the mainstream of traffic it's dark when you approach the hotel.
