Clean and comfortable

Clean and really appreciate the fridge with a separate freezer as we travel with medicine that needs refrigeration. Bed was comfortable but could use a blanket. Door has gap that lets bugs in and lamp outlets need tightening so plugs stay in. I mention these things so the owners are aware and can fix them. We love staying here every year.

Good value

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. My only complaint was that the walls were a bit thin so we could hear people talking. The front desk staff were very accomodating.

Arrived and was very pleased with the younger gentleman who greeted me. Was very friendly and personable. Things changed when I got to my room. No smoking policy yet my room smelled of cigarettes. AC unit was not only noisy but barely cooled off the room and floor fan was useless even on high. Never been to a hotel that doesn’t have soap anywhere. Not even tiny travel sized ones. Found bed sheets to have a yellow hue to them. Took a shower and found baby cockroaches crawling around. Tv remote batteries were also dead. Also found unknown bodily fluids stained all over my bed sheets. Within one hour did I decide I was better off sleeping in my vehicle as it’s cleaner and cooler than this hotel room.

Horrible coffee and (old) creamer in room, few, tiny, towels in bath, few, tiny soap in bath. Clunky TV remote with no channel directory. Poor drapes in window allowing too much light into room after dark. No parking directly in front of room. Poor jamb fit for door allowing light and AC to leak.Otherwise clean, fair bedding.

I do not plan on staying there in the future. Locks did not work on first room. They offered a different room but stated the bug control business may come to spray the rooms on that side since they already sprayed on the other side. I ended up getting a room that was presprayed, but still encountered a couple bugs. Also there was black possible mold near the shower /toilet. I ended up leaving early. I am going to watch my credit card as they seemed to document all numbers which i told tjem i already paid online. They said they knew but wanted to have it on file if any extra expenses?
