Well worth the money i paid for three nights by booking online! House cleaning could have been better by having more towels. We asked for more towels and was told rudly to wait because they needed to wash the towels. No big deal just could have a friendlier attitude. Cleanest outdoor pool i have seen for a hotel. Over all stay was worth the money! Will stay again!

Cleanliness

Reports are mixed: several say rooms were clean, but many others cite dirty bathrooms and linens, pet hair and odors, roaches or dead bugs, and signs of mold. Housekeeping consistency appears to be a recurring issue.

I just cannot recommend this hotel. I know it’s budget level and I chose it for that reason, but it can still be clean. The lobby area was fine, but my room was not. There were shaved whiskers in and all around the sink. The tub bottom was stained and gross looking. The bathroom floor had “stuff” on it that could not possibly have been missed with a decent cleaning. On a positive note, the bed was quite comfortable. The free breakfast was a joke!

Place was dirty and had horrible smell about it. Hallway smelled of urine. The furniture in the room was in poor condition. A/C didn't work, knob was broken. I opted to not stay there. I returned the keys back to the front desk and requested a refund. Lady said management was out and she couldn't authorize a refund until they returned after the Memorial holiday. Pictures online very different than what was provided. Too poor condition for me. Tamiko

This property was nasty, dirty and hot. There was dead bugs on the floor when we walked in, we (thank goodness) had cleaning supplies to get them up and sanitized. The AC unit however, was broken and pouring out hot air even in the highest coldest setting, so much so we had to sleep in our truck half the night. Needless to say not the best experience at/with this property.

It was pretty bad had to go through 3 different rooms and the third finally being the most clean out of them still not very clean at all. The first room had roaches all on the bathroom sink had to change the second room wasn’t even cleaned at all bed still not even made. The third room the floor and bathroom looked as if they haven’t been cleaned in a while. I had to clean the toilet down before we could use it we did not shower because of how bad the shower looked. We also didn’t bring any belongings into the building.

It was ok for $60. It wasn't as advertised, it was a regular room with king bed, non smoking, with cigarette burns holes in the bed clothes. The tub had no plug, the hair dryer crumbled off the wall when touched, the tv screen was jacked up. If I knew they were going to charge me over $70 for a second night I would have left.

Three dollar transaction fee for the $50 deposit. Heating and AC unit didn't work properly, kept cycling on repeatedly with no downtime. Room didn't have blow dryer even though description said it did. Front desk personnel was friendly and courteous. Continental breakfast was subpar, with only a couple of mini donuts and three mini cupcakes available, even though we were one of the first ones there.

The room key system for one of our rooms didn't work, so had to wait for a manager to use the master key to manually let us into the room. The phone in the room didn't work. The bath tub water faucet was half broke and and was leaking water at nearly steady stream. Our second room DID NOT have a deadbolt or any kind of secondary lock.

I booked my stay and paid for my room using hotel.com and did not expect to have to pay more money for a deposit when I got to the physical location. I did not have any more money and tried to charge it to my credit card and it was declined. So I lost all my money for the room that I paid in full earlier that day and had no place to sleep and feel like I was scammed.

When we checked in. It took 4 hrs to get a room due to room keys not opening up doors. Toilet was broken. TV not working in one of the 5 rooms that we were assigned to. 4 hrs later we finally got a room that almost everything worked. I would not recommend to stay here.

The staff was outstanding. They was very nice and friendly. Also very helpful for information that had been misprinted on the expedia website. Price was great for last minute reservations. The place just needs a little TLC so it would look nicer and that just takes time. The bed was hard but im use to my soft mattress at hime. They also was let me bring my dog but i had to pay a $20 pet deposit thats nonrefundable but i totally understand that. Will be willing to go back because everything needs work from time to time.

It's super convenient for me. Wal-Mart is right across the road. Anything you need is within 3 or 4 min even if you walk.. I don't like having to put up a 50 deposit because they did beat me out of getting it back one time. That's partly my own fault though because I couldn't get back to pick it up by the time they figured out it was their mistake.
