It’s ok

Outside was worn down, but not terrible. Lobby has missing ceiling tiles over the food. Just not appealing. Rooms were ok. Blankets and sheets were clean. The room was smelly and hot upon arrival and the remote was missing. Shower was ok. Nice clean towels.

There were over 20+ stains on the comforter, some showed signs that the comforter was never cleaned. There were long, black hairs stuck in the towel rack. The hair dryer was covered in brown splashes of dried liquid. The couch was stained with white streaks. I had to leave within 5 minutes and get a different hotel room. Was not given a refund, credit, or any sort of accommodation from the hotel.

Hotel nightmare

Stay Away from this property! Upon check in the 1st thing was a strong smell of weed. After getting into the room floors dirty, 2.lighys not working, mold on the AC & it.wasn't working. This isn't the worst. My son as he was bringing up some luggage found used needles & empty drug baggies around the property. This combined with the weed smell made me decide to for the 1st time in my life check out of the property before.even staying a night. When i went to the front desk and told the MOD that I was checking out she did ask why. I told her all of the above and ahe just.looked at me & started to process my check out. I attempted to contact the hotel manager for.the next 2.days and i couldn't even get a person to answer the phone. Do yourself a favor pay a little more $$ and stay somewhere else.

Hotel need some major upgrades, and cleaning. There were cockroaches, and dust everywhere. The false ceiling can fall down any time. Also there is a bad smell. Location is good, and lot of potential with proper handling.

Will not be coming back.

Upon entering the room it had a terrible sewage/stale cigarette smell in a non smoking room. One the of pillows still had makeup on it from the previous guest. We informed the front desk that we need new sheets because of the makeup covered pillow and left again for the evening. 5 hours later we returned to the bed remade but the pillow with the making STILL HAD THE DIRTY PILLOW CASE ON IT. Went to front desk to get another pillow case and they said they didnt have any at the front desk, she reluctantly then gave me 2 pool towels. There were burns marks in the comforter as well. There was hair in the shower and the drain was in disrepair. The mirror looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a very long time. Unfortunately the staff I encountered werent all that friendly to top it all off.

The room was almost 90 degrees with the air being off. Took several hours for the room to cool down. Room was dirty, property was completely run down. The place looked like it should be condemned.

They dirt under my sock indicated that the floor was dirty. An earring fell and went under the bed. When moved back, under yhe bed was full of dirt, dust and crumbs. One of the bedspreads had two cigarette burn holes in it. I killed 7 green flies in the room. There was a trash can near the steps by room which may account for this.
