We were placed in a motel portion of the property, not a hotel. Trash everywhere outside the room. Room smelled of mold/musty. Shower was backed up. Continental breakfast was bare bones. Will look elsewhere next time.

The worst motel I have ever stayed at in my life.

Arrived at 2am, tweakers hanging out in front of our room going door to door knocking on doors. Smoke alarm next door beeping like it needed a new battery, 3 different lights had bulbs burned out, toilet seat and bathroom floor sticky and smelled of urine. I went to take a shower and drain was stopped up so bathtub filled up above my ankles. Rated Good on Hotels.com but should have been rated terrible.

Issues with room card not being properly set up. Had to go back to the front desk to have it deactivated on the second evening. Remote control for the TV was worthless! Only turned the TV on and off. Only way to change channels was to stand by TV and change channels on back of TV. Also no listing of available channels on TV or available in the room.

This was by far the worst experience. There was long black hair in the bed and shower. Then the light fixture in the bathroom fell out the ceiling and hit me in the head. And the power went out twice. At check out there was no clerk around for me to speak with so i had to leave a note. After getting my son checked in at school i went back to speak with some one and was told by the clerk AJ Ferguson that everything was taken care of. Whatever that means! He refused to let me take a picture of the screen for verification.
