Never again

The place is a dump. There was hair in the bathtub, the sheets looked nasty like someo ne had sex in it before we got there. The walls were dirty with stainsThere was no continental breakfast and no clerk available when we were trying to check out. We had to give the maid our keys when we left. The poor lady was standing there calling the clerk and the owner because she was locked out.

Good location but dirty unkept rooms

Front desk staff was friendly and check-in was smooth. That’s about where the positives end. The room door had a huge dent/hole they tried to repair. The door frame lock on the inside would not have stopped anyone as it easily moved around when wiggled. The floors in the bathroom had bugs, dirt and hair from others. The door to the bathroom was disgusting in both sides. The walls had splatters of who knows what on them. The sheet wasn’t even all the way on the bed and was inside out. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. Only stayed one night and will not be back. The value for the amount paid was poor. The property was dirty and rooms were rundown and not kept clean.
