Wish I could give negative stars. Infested with bugs. I walked in and walked right back out because the place was covered in roaches. I put stuff back and car and thought I really have to pee. No TP had to get from front desk. Then as using restroom flying bugs swarmed my head. I checked out instantly and they refused a refund. Told me I was crazy and they have no bugs. It said there was a pool online but it is actually drained. Across the street was a decent spot that seemed like a luxury resort compared to here and it was cheaper total costs. Never ever again and beware if you do. It’s HORRIBLE!!

The pool was out of service. This was a major disappointment, since the temperatures was over 100 degrees! Very disappointed this was not mentioned in the hotel description. I feel we were deceived. We would not have stayed there if we had known this beforehand.

Facility is quite all right - BUT it is advertised as "continental breakfast", "pool" and many other extras... I wasn't really expecting all that - and sure enough, NONE of these exists: pool has been closed FOR YEARS!!, and breakfast not served also for a very long time. Greeter was nice - I asked: why those fixtures are still advertised? - "I have told them many times to update, but they did not..." - which further proves my point: lies ruin any trust. Too bad really!!! Also, I found it on line - called, they were offering it to me for $10 extra saying it was the last room for the night - the property was half empty. More lies - shame on you, people! but I did have a good sleep ;)

If you are looking for a property that is economical, this is a very good place to stay for the night. Its not expensive but you do know that you should not expect so much. But for the price, its clean inside, it has a fridge and a microwave toilet paper and facial tissues are available. Towels and wash cloths are complete. The overnight staff is very helpful. Though he was having a problem with the hotel check-in system. I have to wait for a while. Its was okay to wait. The area is safe and quite a few vehicle and people moving around. 5 star for a good stay.

The phone number was out of service, and when we got there no one was inside at the front desk, even though the website said 24 hour front desk service. We rang the bell for someone to let us into the lobby, but after 10 minutes no one came and we finally just left. We ended up going to the Motel 6 down the street instead and thankfully they did actually have 24 hour front desk and a room available.
