Security guard told us to park next to our room as soon as we pulled in. Pool was closed. Bathroom had mold. Had a drop of shampoo left in the tiny unmarked bottle. Pubic hair in the bed. Trash left behind from last occupant. Workers hanging out in the parking lot instead of front desk. Manager don’t help. Corporate didn’t do anything. You couldn’t pay me to stay here again.

Staff was very friendly and property was clean Beds were not comfortable, all plumbing fixtures were in need of repairs and parking lot was in dire need of attention. Was very noisy, but chalked that up to it being spring break.

The property is located in a very shady area. Was approached by street beggars 3 times in my 3 night stay. The rooms themselves are about what you would expect at like a motel 6. Since we traveling with a little one it was not up to my standard. If it was just me and the hubs and only needing a place to lay my head, I'd be ok with it for the price but I had selected this hotel because of the full fridge and stove and microwave in the suite thinking we'd get groceries and eat there...we did not. the counters were gross and the sink looked like it had never been cleaned. The fridge had a smell and wasn't clean either. The sofabed had a "stinky foot smell". The breakfast spread was awful but free. If you are on a budget its OK, but if you have littles, I'd bring disinfectant. ONLY PLUS: Pool was on the side of the building that was nicely shaded,

The room wasnt cleaned properly, the stove wasnt wiped down, the tub looked so dirty we didn't bother to shower, we needed the sofa couch but it was dingy and dirty we all piled up in the beds. We got in late so when I tried calling the front desk around 1230am, to get a different room no one answered. Also picked the place for the pool, called front desk Sunday morning to see what time it would open they said 10am. Plus the wifi wouldnt stay connect so i couldnt do school work as planned. Around 945am the kids look out the window to notice the pool doesn't even have water in it. Definitely not worth $150, i could of paid half of that for a better room.

It was dirty and smelly. They lied about having a continental breakfast. That was one of the reasons why we booked. The pool was disgusting. When on vacation we always book if they have a continental breakfast, it’s convenient and saves us a little bit of money and time. The room was horrible. We will never book again.

Clean and quiet, pool was cloudy and dirty looking. It was out of commission per manager but it was not locked to keep people out. Gym has seen better days but was useable. Breakfast needs some work, it was really sparse the first day but got better the next couple of days. Not sure what the egg mixture was but did not look or taste very good.

Everything looked good once we arrived from the outside. As soon as we got into the elevator we realized how dirty this hotel actaully was! Going into our room it was big and spacious for our big family. We used the pull out bed and the sheets looked dirty and hadnt been changed! No extra pillows in the room. Areas in the walls were dispainted! The carpets had alot of stains everywhere and smelled nasty. Also we went down for breakfast at 8:30 and there was literally nothing available. Breakfast should be served til 9am and wasnt.

Lost track of time on my check out day by 20min instead of getting a phone call to the room I was told through the door with banging & shouting being told I was late & being told I needed to check out now or pay $20 for check ing out late!

Coming from houston area, we booked this room after freight fest to sleep for a couple hours before heading home with 3 children under 10. We paid for a room with 2 beds and a sofa bed and we got a room that smelled, bugs in bathroom and no sofa bed. The front staff tried to show us other rooms available but they all smelled like smoke, sofa bed dirty and bed sheets with stains.

This was by far one ofnthe dirtiest, most dosgusting rooms I have ever stayed in. My family and i reserved this and didnt arrive until midnight so we were very tired and tried to make the best of it. We just slept a couple of hours amd high tailednit out of there. Hair, grime, dirt, dead bugs...everywhere you looked there was gross things all over the floors and in every nook and cranny.

Hallways smelled horrible and dirty. Room was spacious but it was not clean at all. Bring your own toiletries as the ones provided are pretty useless. Also, they have a full kitchen, with stove and a full size fridge but nothing to go with it. No cutlery, plates, cups or anything to cook with. The TV had no remote and the front desk did not have any extras. Room was missing light bulbs and it was very dark. This room should have been at most $60 per night and not $115. They had no breakfast as they're under renovation. Would NOT stay here again. Any review rating this place over a 5 is a fake review. Only good thing I have to say about this place other than the room size was that the front desk staff was nice, otherwise, stay away.

The hotel was clean and the room was large. Breakfast was good. Check in and checkout were quick. However, our complain is that there is no much noise insulation and the noise from the highway was unbearable. Neither of us could sleep not even wearing earplugs. I would not go back. If anybody wants to go, request a room at the backside of the hotel, it might be less noise.

This hotel is old and is showing definite signs of needing some TLC. The hotel was clean although in disrepair. The Pool was in great shape, the continental breakfast wasn't the greatest and super bland. Over all we would stay here again as the price was decent and the beds were comfy, it was central to every where we wanted to go. I just want to warn people that this is NOT a super nice hotel and you get what you pay for - it was cheap so we didn't expect much.

Horrible customer service from the front desk girl I asked her a simple question of what is fun places to go around the city and she gave me attitude and told me to search it up my self and it is very unsafe at night I was smoking a cig and drinking coffee on the benches next to the pool and there was this black trans man who I gave a cigarette then when I went inside my to my room they followed me and started to pretend to be in the room next to mine and started knocking on that door and my card wouldn’t work to open my door when I got to my room so I was stuck in that situation with them and in the morning when I informed the staff the guy in the front told me that he saw the cameras and he was following me but he did ended up kicking em out

Sure Stay was in a questionable area. A few homeless people loitered around the bingo hall next door. Room was clean. Tvs didn’t work first night but the manager was nice enough to accommodate my family. Manager was very helpful with things to do in the area and very knowledgeable about the restaurants around the hotel. Not a bad stay just questionable area and complimentary breakfast consisted of one choice of cereal, powdered eggs, refried beans, and tortillas. Not consistent each day, and we stayed 3 nights. Not a awful stay, but not my first choice.

The day we left the 3rd floor smelled like death by the elevator, which happened to be right outside our room. Day 1 had breakfast. Day 2 and 3 breakfast was cereal and they had no bowls out.
