Sketchy

We decided to go cheaper and will not do that again. This property was a little sketchy. Staff was friendly. I want to make sure they know that. But the tub was not clean and had a little water in it. When we checked out the next morning they wouldn’t let us in the lobby due to a man being threatening to the owner and another threatening man in the parking lot. They took our key and sent us on our way. Interesting to say the least.

Never again!

I was not impressed at all. I paid over $240 for the room one night and $123 another night. These rooms are not worth that much money. The air conditioner only blew out warm air, the floors were dirty (we had to throw away socks and wear shoes the whole time), the bathroom was dirty. We had 4 people in the room and they only gave us 2 towels and 2 washcloths and was told that we had to wait until morning for more. The pool that was advertised wasn’t open and it was 90 degrees that day. Overall we didn’t have a great experience. It definitely was not worth what we paid.

Pretty normal stay but service sucks no one is hardly ever at the front desk. And for some we kept losing power. Room going pitch black with two small children was awful. Then waking up in the middle of the night sweaty because of no power more so no AC. Wall in room 254 had spray painted letters that was very obviously tried to be cleaned up; however, wasn’t done too well since we could still visibly see it

Could've been better

Upon check-in, the 1st room we got was filthy and reeked with cig smoke. The 2nd one, we had drug dealing going, and a fight broke between him and another person. The room was filthy. There was blood smear on bathroom door, mold on shower curtain, sticky doorknobs, hair on the floor, and condom wrapper under the bed. Vent in the bathroom did not work. Showerhead was clogged, barely water ccame out. Towels were dirty and with hair stuck on it. Only saw one time for housekeeping person, and the rest of our stay, we never saw a soul. Trash in the room was not cleaned out during our stay. Overpriced for a place like this.
