The lady who did our check in was super nice and took care of us immediately. The location was convenient with stores walking distance. Room carpet were smelly, the ice machine wasn’t working, neither was the AC in the room. The first room we got had a bad smell of gas, we got a different one.

I booked a small suite not knowing it was on 2nd floor -NO ELEVATOR ,,stairs only. I asked about a room like i had booked but nothing was avaliable. As we were bringing our luggage in the clerk had went and checked a room and told us we could move to it on the 1st floor. We dragged our luggage outside to the room. The room looked like homeless people lived in it - holes in the ceiling, entrance door had paint off with rusty place showing , carpet looked filthy with trash under the chair by the window. Ice machine was upstairs and not keeping ice made. Every time we left i hoped the room would be cleaned and enough towels and wash cloths replaced. I am sorry I booked this stay and will not recommend it to anyone.

The service was excellent. Everyone was very nice. I was disappointed cause pool was out of order. I feel I should of been contacted to let us know pool was not in working order before our stay. The pool was the reason I chose to stay there,then to find out at check in we couldn't use it. We stayed 2 nights then checked out early to go to another hotel with a working pool.

The rooms DID NOT look like the pictures on the website. The rooms were dirty, they only had two towels in the bathroom, the walls, doors and door handles were dirty. It smelt like cigarette smoke. There was people drinking and walking around all hours of the night. We didnt even stay our last night there because it was so dirty and sketchy.

The property was dated and in tight conjunction with a strip mall parking lot. While the king bed was comfortable and seemed clean, the furnishings seemed dated and the bathroom needed a renovation; the bathroom door wouldn't close properly. However, despite location, the site seemed fairly quiet.

The rooms need some updating. Flooring, painting, no phones, & ice machine was broken. Also, there was only one person at the front desk and she had to leave in order to find out what rooms were available. So, check in was delayed because of this. A better system needs to be implemented. The staff is very nice and welcoming.

This hotel was scary!!! dangerous looking people hanging around. The room was filthy! I found 2 crickets on the beds. The manager, Tawana, banged on our door insisting I hadn't paid, insisting I come to the office to pay. A few minutes later she came back to tell me I was right and had paid, but she yelled at me anyway.

After traveling about 8 hours we decided to stay here. For whatever reason each key card we got refused to open the door to our room. The card would work the first time but then when I would go back to get our things the door would not open no matter how many times we tried. We used three different key cards and two different rooms. As a result we were very frustrated and left even though we paid in advance. Never again but then we’ll probably never stop in this town since it was a random selection in the first place

I booked two rooms at this location. I received a called that 1 out of the 2 rooms were not available. The 2 room was supposed to be none smoking and they gave us a smoking room. The room was horrible,I couldn’t even breathe. The manager Mark wasn’t professional nor did he have good customer service skills. I’ve never experienced something like this at a hotel. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this location.

I had to request towels and toilet paper. They don't clean your beds every day not your room. No breakfast. Only oatmeal and coffee. I stay for 5 days with no choice.
