The pictures leave you believing this is a hotel. And it's clearly a motel. Drugs deals happening on property. Pool was closed down. Does not say that on app. Front desk was rude. Unexpected deposit that it hidden at bottom of page. Front desk called manager and manager told me he would refund me. That I wasn't going to find anywhere any nicer. To get off his property.

Horrible Conditions

I did not expect anything fancy because of the negative reviews. However, I never expected it to be as bad as it was and for the place to have the audacity to charge a deposit for rooms that are damaged and completely ran down. There were no blinds in the room only mis matched curtains that during the day and night the light poured through making it hard to sleep. The air conditioner was barely even attached to the wall with about a 2 in space of outside exposure while also propped up on a rock. A good cleaning with a magic eraser or a can of paint would work wonders. It’s sad that this place is aloud to operate in such poor conditions. The only positive was that i didn’t see and bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. Paying nearly $100 a night for a place so ran down is diabolical.
A/C space where it’s not securely attached
Rock holding A/C unit in place
Electrical wiring of the light above the vanity which is also the main lighting source of the room
Main lighting source that had to be plugged in and unplugged

Horrible experience. Filthy, stinky property, and the staff was not helpful at all. The pictures of the rooms and lobby on the website are not representative of what it actually is, and can be construed as false advertising. I recommend NOT staying at this hotel.

While i didnt notice until the morning, my room door didnt close all the way and didnt latch. I did notice my deadbolt didnt latch, and i let that slide due to the little flick latch thing they had on the door was well. Otherwise the staff were nice. The grounds were fine, nothing to write home about. The rooms were clean enough.
