Upon entering I told the front desk clerk that I wasn't from the area and preferred a room that had a parking space directly in front of the room. When he printed the key he told me he gave me a room in "the next building," & when I asked where it was exactly he said around the corner. I said, "ok, got in my car and started driving around the parking lot." When I made it "around the corner," I notice caution-tape restricting cars from actually driving to the building. Seeing this I figured it was a mistake, turned around and went back to ask the attendant if there was a mistake. He told me, "the building is right there," to which I reminded him I'm not from this area and would prefer a room where I can see my vehicle. in frustration he walked around the counter, outside & pointed to a building that was 50 yards away saying, "you can park here and then walk under the caution tape to the building through an empty parking lot." I once again told him I'd like my vehicle close, where I can see it, not 50 yards away and around the corner from where he stood pointing. His communication skills were paramount to gasliting as he told me, "no one has a problem with walking over there, this is a non issue," rather than simply getting the point I want a room within eyesight of my vehicle. Hearing this he said, "ok I can fix this." He proceeded to give me a room a few doors from the front office and I hoped at this moment the issues from earlier were about to be fixed. They weren't

The only highlight here was the girl at the front desk. She was sweet and upbeat, but the place was nasty. There were no working vending machines, the office closed, there were bad places on the floor and walls, you could take a bath (no stopper), no water pressure for a shower and half the lights work

The neighborhood was not that great but I adjusted. The pool had no set time for open in close but on Sunday the person came up and said it was closed so I got out. However, I then saw someone else in the pool area. The rooms were small and not super clean. Its more of a motel.

Worst experience ever

When we first got there their system was down instead of the rude old lady saying that she left me at the window, then I’m standing in line once the system was up and she skipped me that came after me.the floors in the room are dirty the a/c had mold and the tub has mold as well, dead roaches on the ceiling, room service guy knocked and let his self in after I stated I’m undressed we don’t need anything. On the way out the same rude old lady tried to keep my money acting as if I didn’t give her a deposit for the key
