This property was amazing, much above what I expected. Location is kind of ducked off, place even had a basketball court! If I am ever back in the area then I have every intention on staying here again. Still conveniently located right off the highway though, so plenty of everything you could need nearby. Probably the highest exceeding of expectation thatI've everhad with a hotel!

This is the nastiest hotel I’ve ever seen! My room had dead bugs all over, hair balls and the tub had long strands of hair and dirt rings. There was blood splatters on the wall and door frames, paint peeling on the ceiling and wallpaper peeling from the walls. The shower curtain was mildewed and yellow stained. The air worked when it wanted. They did not and would not provide fresh towels daily. The manager was very, very rude saying if the room is for two people you get two towels for your stay. He was not very accommodating when questioned about the dead bugs and other issues in the room. I booked for two nights but after the first night I couldn’t take it and decided to leave. He told me that was my problem and no refunds. This place should be condemned! It smells of must and mildew, broken windows, pool is very nasty and unsanitary. I’m also reporting them to the health department as well! I wish I could add pics to this review.

The facilities in its day were very nice. They need to fix the hot tub and do more than just the minimum in providing towels and breakfast food a selection of juices for breakfast. They are driving people away by not being more friendly and only doing the minimum It’s still a nice hotel and just fix some of the basics Continue to keep your prices low You don’t need a major face lift or spend a lot of money on the place or you will have to raise your prices too much and then when your prices are higher you won’t stack up to your competitors

It was ran by a very unprofessional family that lived in part of the hotel. I thought it looked nice online but its nothing like the pictures. The halls smell moldy and the wall paper was peeling everywhere. The pool has no chlorine and has bugs and algae. Breakfast was old and the griddle was dirty. Overall a terrible place you would Think it was either just opened before inspection or about to go out of business. A family had all of their things stolen out of their room.

Pool was not clean. Sand and hair in areas. TV remote didn’t work to turn on and off or volume but did change channels. Asked someone to fix no resolution. 2 separate spots of hair behind door in bathroom. Breakfast was included was not anything special. Things ran out early and never replaced. Grass was overgrown. Looks like landscaping hasn’t been done in months. Back of hotel grass was knee high

The outside of Building looks rundown the security doors at the end. Do not lock completely busted. The pictures are valid. But there is apparently no grounds work being done. That along with the Exterior needing repair Gives you the Impression that you're overpaying. They're overall cleanliness was OK inside.

This place was terrible. Everything was dirty, tv didnt work, i pushed our door open without a key and had to pull with all my weight. Pubes in bathroom, drawers had tobacco or something else spilled in them. Stair section had holes in ceiling where birds pecked through, and never cleaned up. Never ever again

Picture do not show just how bad the exterior and interior feels so unsafe. The photos don’t look like it at all. Outside had alcohol bottles and people smoking illegal things. The area was not unkept at al. The room was dirty and smelled. The door would barely shut. I felt so unsafe with my two small kids we just left and didn’t stay. Checking in took 20 min and we couldn’t get anyone to answer our concerns.

This place is a dump. Everything is dirty. There’s mold growing in various places. It needs a lot of maintenance. There was exposed lighting, wallpaper peeling off the walls, carpet ripping, just to name a few.

I thought from the pictures that it was going to be a relaxing time. It was anything but. The room was dirty, the couch had stains, the ottoman was nasty with leather peeling in many spots. The bathroom faucet dripped the whole time, the bathroom walls had many stains, as with all of the walls. The tv remote worked sporadically. When I walked into the hotel, they had many industrial fans in it and it was so hot for days, in the hallways and in the room despite me setting the temperature below 60. The breakfast looked awful and when i looked for food, it was not there. Every night when I came back to the hotel and to my room, the room key did not work and I had to go downstairs and get a new key, one worker came upstairs and treated me like a kid, acting like I did not know what direction the key card was supposed to go in. Also, the lights in my room did not work, when i mentioned it, they stated that they would change the light bulbs in the morning, nobody ever came to do that and housekeeping did not come into the room any of the nights I was there to empty the trash. Also, the refrigerator had a huge buildup of ice and was not cold either, I was afraid to put my food in there. Also, the elevator was so slow, I thought that i was going to get stuck.

My family and I use to stay at this hotel every summer. The grounds were unkept, the room had dim lighting. The pool was not clean and the outside pool was closed off. The website promotes a hot tub which is no longer there. We didn't feel safe sleeping on the sheets/covers. And the food looked horrible, my 8 year old nephew refused to eat it. And the desk clerk knock on the doors at night to see who was smoking marijuana. EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED and DISSAPPOINTED!

First off when I tried to check In early the person at the desk tried to up charge me to check in early. After tell him someone on the phone said I can check in early with no cost. Second the hotel is dirty and smells bad. The hotel also didn’t have no one to clean the building I think the focus on the rooms only. My room had duct tape on the shower, the table in my room was still dirty and so much other things. I feel like they need to update the hotel. Other than that it was a quiet stay which i enjoyed more

The hotel is showing its age. Carpet is ripped in hallways. Pool is cold. There were no pool towels. We had to ask repeatedly for room towels. Breakfast was something left to be desired. The beds felt like they had blankets piled up indrt fitted sheet. The lock on the back door is broken allowing anyone to come in the building.

Manager was in an argument with someone in the lobby which involved yelling and cursing in front of my two young children. Hotel pictures look nothing like what actual hotel. Outside and inside is a mess. Overall it is a room to sleep in but it is nothing more and a lot less.
