Christopher

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was overall OK for the price. I wasn’t expecting 5 stars so I was satisfied. Very loud. Guests playing amplified music at the pool all day and not being asked to turn it down. Staff would not allow check-in to occur 20 minutes early when the property was empty. Make sure you double check the room before leaving. I accidentally left something of value in the room and of course it “was not found”. Wouldn’t return but if you’re looking for a budget option…not terrible

Hotel isn’t too badly priced and it’s not in the worst condition ever but I can not stand the parking lot. It is too small and tight and it makes parking hard especially if you’re driving a truck like I was. If you’re looking for a cheap hotel for a night or two, this place ain’t so bad.

Worst experience

Parking lot to small, they hit my friends car. Roaches in the room file a complaint and they weren’t able to change my room. They were supposedly going to clean the room, I get there in the evening room was not clean at all and roaches were still roaming the room. The room I booked was a room with multiple beds and I get a call from the front regarding my reservation and when I mentioned the type of room she stated that they don’t have those types of rooms and all I got was what was being given to me by them. Showed them the proof on my reservation but nothing was done.

Upon arrival everything seemed up to par. Check in was fast and easy, customer service was okay. Once we got to our room we immediately noticed a very strong scent of cigarettes as well as sticky floors and hair on our sheets and pillows. I went back to the service desk to report the issue and was treated very mildly and or dismissive. They gave us a new room which was a big improvement from the previous one.
