Place was absolutely disgusting. Looked like a dump. I didn’t even get to walk into the room After checking, I had a family emergency and I left and I wasn’t even able to receive a partial refund. Doesn’t even deserve 1 star.

- I got this room to attend a funeral and was looking for cheapest option so I wasn't expecting much. On the postive side, the room was clean and secure, locks worked ok, shower and toilet ok, and TV worked ok. Bed was comfortable but terrible pillows. This property has not been updated it seems in decades and is run as cheaply as possible. Bathroom light non functional and instead of repairing they just stuck a torch light in the corner. But the most bothersome thing is the absolute rudeness of the office attendant, a very mean old woman who would not speak to me and literally threw the card key at me. Really started the stay off wrong, like I'm sorry to bother you for staying at your hotel and needing a key...

Horrible

The room was disgusting with walls being yellow from cigarettes. When I got there to check in the front desk worker was very rude towards me and had an attitude through both of our interactions. There were ants everywhere in the room. The bed sheets and blankets had burn holes from people putting out cigarettes. The tv was very staticky making it hard to enjoy any show. Just seemed like the owners don’t really care about their customers or the conditions of their rooms. Do not recommend even with how cheap it is

You get what you pay for; the place is run down and outdated, bugs were noted during my stay. I wanted to save money, but instead I got lock out of my room after returning from a fun day playing golf due to hotel faulty door lock, and I left a day early because of the unpleasantness' of the place, but paid full price. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
