Check in was easy, the gentleman at the front was very nice and greeted us with a smile. The room was nice. It’s located in a great place for an overnight or weekend if you just want to be away from everything. There was a couple of restaurants and a Dunkin’ Donuts and Wendy’s all within 30 seconds of driving or 1 minute walking. We were actually going to stay another night, but the weather turned nasty and there wasn’t going to be anything for us to do so we headed home instead. We would’ve totally stayed if the weather would’ve cooperated.

The room smell like mildew and mold, the carpet was gross!!! The bathroom light was falling out of the ceiling, the back of the complex where our room was looked like it was used in a horror movie! No water in the pool, not that we would have used it!! Sketchy people all around obviously living in the rooms, very dirty and smelly!!!

The office was locked and myself and another lady were waiting outside in the heat. I finally called a number posted and the guy came immediately. After a brief check in, I got my room key....only to realize someone else was already in the room! So thankful that they weren't in in the room at the time! (How does this happen? Someone pays cash and the desk clerk leaves it off the books?) The black out curtains didn't block the light at all. The giant security lights guarding the parking lot came on through. I did not get a good nights sleep. It was a combination of the mattress and the light. Room #123. I took a picture of the mirror. But I cannot figure out how to post it on this review. Housekeeping used a dirty cloth to clean it and it was easy to see.

Photos must be from 10years ago or something because our room was an absolute abomination. Molded bathroom walls, shower head covered in stone, there was a hole in the wall under the shower head where water was coming out! Toilet seat broken, cabinet door fell off, definitely wasn’t cleaned because I stepped into something sticky on the carpet, and I found a bottle cap on the floor right next to the chair… do not come to this filthy and stanky crack house. I can’t even call this an inn or motel. At least the front desk person was nice. Which you have to call every time because the office is always closed and nobody is there. Avoid this place at all costs. I wouldn’t stay here even if you’d pay me to.
