Run down, broken stuff everywhere outside main entrance car port was falling apart pieces look like they were going to fall off top part, fallen trees, smashed picnic tables and basket ball nets laying around, pot holes in driveway. Door to outside don’t lock at night. Anyone could walk into the hotel from back door. Lamp posts knocked down, outside pool was empty with a table upside down in it. Smelt bad and stains on carpet in room floor, and hallways. Also bottom of top was painted for some reason with whit paint. Took pictures if you want. In very bad disrepair

The bed was horribly caving in at the middle. The pillows were way too soft. There wasn't a fan in the bathroom, and there wasn't any body wash. There were paper cups for the coffee. This was our wedding night- I tried to call ahead to see if something "special" could be done- but I left a message and no one got back to me.

Very run down. Pool kept closing. Super slow internet. Had to just use data. Stucco peeling off outside wall. Inside wallpaper peeling. It was a run down motel not a hotel. Had to switch rooms day 1 because after I unpacked my first room just had no internet at all. Room was a 3 level walk up. No elevator. Rooms not even connected to main lobby.

This hotel was in terrible disrepair. A sign indicated a Saturday/Sunday brunch but the restaurant was closed. The room on the first floor was extremely damp and the hallways were damaged and crumbling walls in the corners. Very, very disappointed. We were attending a wedding so it was a quick check in otherwise I would definitely have canceled the reservation immediately. Definitely NOT worth the $250.00 price tag!!!
