We stayed here for the Manning Camp which was very convenient. Location was great but I don’t think the place has been maintained in 20 years. The ac was either on or off that was the only settings. When it was one it worked great but it was like sleeping in a freezer. The hot water also worked great but would burn you if not careful. We had to get light bulbs from the office and change them our selves. It was ok for what guys need but I doubt my wife would have stayed here. It was kind like camping in an old broken down RV.

Oops

I’ll never stay here again. Let’s see, I could smell the marijuana from the room next to me. They didn’t even have an actual comforter. They ran out of clean towels and had none to offer. When I actually got towels they were paper thin and sized for a toddler. The shower water went from blazing skin burning hot to ice cube cold about 19 times while showering. Let see, besides those things and the black model and all hours of the night street noise and overall trashy/nasty appearance and feel, yeah, I made do.

The room itself was dated or I should say very dated. There was popcorn and popcorn kernels behind the single nightstand between two queen beds. The floor lamp in the room was broken. There was a coffee maker but no coffee. The refrigerator freezer part had a layer of ice inside as if it had been turned off and then turned back on again and the ice and melted and then Frozen at the bottom like a sheet of ice. The floor was extremely dirty we wore socks out of habit and the bottom of our socks were black from walking on the floor. We had trouble with our shower and when you flush the toilet for one to two minutes afterwards There Was An Extremely Loud high pitch whining noise. There were other patrons sitting out in patio chairs outside their room which led me to believe that maybe some of these individuals rent long term but it just kind of gave a very rundown vibe. Those were all the cons. The pros to this place is that the staff was very attentive and they were very courteous. They were willing to provide extra towels and there were no bed bugs or other visible rodents or creatures in the room. The beds were okay the blankets that they use are very thin and very cheap but they appeared clean and not stained or any sort of dirt or other gross stuff on them. The fixtures in the room did not work with the switches so we had to unplug and plug the lamp in when we needed it. It's not bad but it needs some tender loving care and the bed linens could stand to be upgraded
