I'll be generous and give 4 stars

Mattress was terrible, I think it may have previously belonged to a sumo wrestler who used it for 10 years straight, sleeping in the same spot every night. A cash-only deposit policy is straight-up silly in 2025. Everything else was fine.

I didn’t like anything. There wasn’t anyone at the front desk when I tried to check in for over 20 minutes. Then when I did try to check in I was told there are no rooms available because they’re under construction. Totally unacceptable and the front desk employee refused to let my 12 year old son use the bathroom while I was trying to find other accommodations.

Dirty, smells bad, they took all our stuff out of our room a day before we were to leave. No one at desk for over 30 minutes but I found all our stuff in the employee break room and left to stay at a different hotel. So I'm out money for 1 night. You could smell poop, drugs, and cigarettes. Had employees knocking at door 2 in the morning.

First arrived with the room key not working. Master key did not work. The representative did not try to solve the problem. All he want to do was give me my money back and send me and my daughter on our way. We had asked him if he had 2 single rooms. After awhile he was able to locate a 2 bed room that was available. What he wanted to do was refund our money and send us on our way. I asked "where do we go at 1130PM in the night. The property was not clean and the garbage can was full, no place to place garbage. No garbage cans in the room, The property is in the process or being rentevided Our stay was unsatisfactory.
