The floor in our suite was so filthy my kids and toddlers socks were black within minutes of being at the hotel. The water in the pool was too cold, making it intolerable.

The room was not clean. There were stains on the comforter. The only way to describe this place is: polished turd. You could tell it had been painted recently, yet there were rusted out spots on the door frames. The towel rack was falling off the wall. The shower was disgusting and needed caulked. The door was not self-closing and it was located in a sketchy area, making me question my safety. It may have flooded recently as they had fans going throughout the main areas. The pool looked ok, but I didn't want to risk getting sick after seeing how dirty and not maintained the rest of the facility was. It was a neat building and could be amazing if someone gutted the place and started fresh.

Decent accommodations for an overnight stay. The rooms and interior of the hotel were great. The outside looks like it’s seen better days, so the inside was a pleasant surprise.

Even hotel does not turn on all lights on the main floor. You feel scared when you walk thru. Some storage rooms doors were left open with blower fan on. Please don’t recommend this hotel to anyone. It’s scary place when it’s empty

Unfortunate

No elevator. Room on second floor; hadn’t stayed in a 2+ level hotel without an elevator or given a first floor room. I have leg braces and use a cane; Clerk was rude and not accommodating. Staircase railing was unsteady and wobbly. 2 partial bottles of shampoo, no conditioner. A hairdryer with metal plate and screws was lying on the bathroom counter uninstalled…hazard. Coffee pot was too dirty to use. Overall, a negative experience. Won’t be using a Choice Hotel unless there is no choice!

This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had with a hotel stay! We checked in and left our things in room as my daughter wanted to check out the pool which was out of service! When we returned, my room key would not work, we tried several keys and finally the attendant tried the master key to learn it didn't work either. They needed to get a 'maintenance person' on site to fix door. We were locked out of our room with all of our stuff inside for over 2 hours!!! It was like we were being held hostage! I will never stay again nor will I recommend this place to anyone I care about!
