Just poor overall

After checking in, was sent to a room with the door ajar. After peeking in, was obvious that I had been sent to a room not yet cleaned. I notified the clerk and he reassigned me to another room with no problem; however, the new room had no towels at all, no remote for the television, and hardly any toilet paper. I would say this is the standard “get what you pay for” situation when it comes to hotels, but since this was Memorial Day Weekend, I got charged basically double rate for this substandard stay.

Dirty, old and outdated! Don't stay here!

This place was awful! Do not stay here! Old and outdated, dirty, and a very uncomfortable bed with crappy pillows. We striped the bed, used our travel sheets, blankets, and pillows since we knew ours was clean! Thank goodness we always bring our own, we just didnt trust this place! We definitely would have left but had an extremely long drive prior to arrival so we needed to somewhat rest. We should have slept in our vehicle, which we would have probably been more comfortable in! When morning came, I used the toilet which ended up backing up just by flushing, #1 not #2! Not maintaining issues cause backups! We started getting ready for our day, showered which tub doesnt drain (yuck) and then we hear knocking at the door shortly after 7am from the housekeeping! Check out is not until 11am so no need to bother guests until you know they are gone or after the allotted check out time! So very rude of them! Dont stay here period! This place needs to be knocked down and rebuilt or completely gutted and start fresh. Just horrible! And don't bring kids here! Dirty needles in the parking lot and nasty condom was near the grass that was separating the street to room. I would never again stay here for any reason!

From checkin in to our stay it was all horrible. The checkin process makes you feel like the area is unsafe and completed behind a glass door. The place is not well kept, our room was dirty, the tv rarely worked, the bathroom fan was filthy, rust everywhere in the bathroom, holes in the bathroom door and the door knob was falling off bathroom door. The beds and pillows are old and uncomfortable. Will not be staying here ever again.

Poor maintenance

I was disappointed from the begging. The host told me to stand at the window instead of inviting me into the lobby. Next, the door handle was broken and that was a delay to get someone to teach me to open the broken door. Btw, if the handle broken then who would feel safe. Inside the room is in need of several repairs. The ceiling is peeling and falling, the tile is broken and missing pieces. The switch to the bathroom light and fan is broken and won't turn off so it ran constantly. Very noisy even with the door closed. I rarely leave poor reviews but the broken door handle and broken light switch are both safety issues. Watch YouTube videos to learn how to make these simple repairs. Better luck in the future...!!

Not the best but Melinda made it worth the stay

Roaches in my room which smelled of weed so strongly that I had to leave the door open, the AC unit on high and the bathroom ventilation on for hours. Melinda was excellent as she provided a cleaning product that cleared the weed smell after being applied. A can of disinfectant helped as well. Melinda was always making sure to check if anything was needed during my stay. She also helped with getting my brother's room ready as it hadn't been completed when expected at 2:30.
