Worst caae of catfish in a hotel

From pulling into the parking lot it looked run down and not like the pics on the site. Going against my gut, we went in thinking that maybe they hadnt redone the outside. But upon walking in you could smell an undeniable scent of wet decay. We grabbed our room keys and headed onward. The whole hotel stunk and it looked nothing like the photos! There were cobwebs on the wall and bugs. We didn't even sit our bags down. Ww told the front desk we would not be staying and they didn't care. They aaked if we wanted different rooms, at that point i waa tryung to find a different hotel. I waa also trying to file a grievance and get a refund. I walked out without a refund feeling like i needed a shower. Do Not believe the pics for this hotel!!

Around 1:30 am multiple people were trying to get into the room. Felt very unsafe. My husband was there on a fishing trip and probably won’t ever stay there again due to this occurring.

The property was very run down and dirty. Everything in the room was very dusty and random hair was noted on the walls and bed quilt. The towels were tiny and felt like sandpaper. We paid in advance and almost left but it made for a very uncomfortable night. Would NOT recommend.

The office person was very nice and accommodating, the room was large with a comfortable bed, nicely decorated. More choices for breakfast. Conveniently located off the highway. The only thing I did not like was that the side entrance was not secure. It was left unlocked, not like most motel/motels that need a key card for entry. Also fairly priced.

Hard to find.

The sign was hard to find and the place did not have its own entrance. You had to enter through another business. Once you got in it was clean and comfortable but we went around at least 3 times - with GPS - before we saw the sign and figured how to get to it.
