The woman who ran the front desk was sociable and pleasant. The facility, however was absolutely disgusting. The minute I stepped in the room, I wanted to turn around and walk right back out and find another place even if it was going to cost me triple. It was just nasty all the way around. It's the point that once I made it back home, I actually took off all my clothes before going in the house immediately threw them in the washer and then In a really hot dryer because the risk of bed bugs at that place was probably pretty high. It was the kind of place that looked like most of the people that stayed there were probably crack addicts or homeless. As it was I didn't even bother spending the whole night. I checked in at about 5 :00 and left at about 12 A.M. I know that the website I booked this on, didn't make the rooms look as bad as it was. Family friendly definitely not.

Needs a makeup over

Definitely needs a complete makeover. The room was dirty, walls were filthy and it smelled like straight cigarette in the room that I reserve was supposed to have been a non-smoking room. The bathroom dining will look like it was cleaned out the bed sheets had a blood stain on it. The pillows look like they weren’t even washed and luckily, I actually brought my own pillow and my own blanket.
