Service was good. Didn’t have high expectations due to the price and for the most part the quality reflected the price. My mine complaint is the mold and the amount silver fish in the bathroom.

This hotel needs a lot of work if not a complete renovation. It smells like fish likely from the sitting water in the pool. The bathtubs are dirty, stained, and peeling. There is paint splatter for the layered paint. Smells like mildew. If it wasn’t so late I would have requested a refund and moved somewhere else. We booked two nights but only stayed one. There was no real breakfast just coffee and a muffin, there was only two muffins the few times I checked. Sadly not even worth the low budget price you pay.
Pool right outside of the door.
Ceiling outside the door to the room.

Won't go there again.

The first room had 2 beds first one I looked at had sheets that had hair on them and looked dirty. The front desk lady brought more sheets but as she was gone I discovered the 2nd bedding was also not up to my comfort so she took us to a different room that looked a little better but there was stains on the carpet that looked like blood. After I Lysoled the whole room we did finally sleep but just didn't feel at ease or comfortable there. Didn't like the kids touching anything. I just had a bad feeling lots of bad things have happened there for some reason and didn't like having my grandkids there. It was supposed to have free breakfast but there was no coffee out, and only 2 xsmall (tiny) muffins and a small honey bun and that was it. Just didn't feel good.

The room was absolutely horrible, it smelt like smoke. It was very dirty. There was urine all on the toilet there was stuff all over the walls. The pillows were like airplane pillows, so tiny, and there wasn’t even a real blankets on the bed. There was stuff all over the floor. The air conditioning barely worked. The bathtub was disgusting. Even the smoke detector didn’t have batteries in it. It was left open. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody especially families with children.

drop them from your site. Very bad for business

I didn’t get to stay. They refused to let me check in. One of the men was very rude to me. Pretty much yelled at me. I’ve already talked to you guys twice and should be receiving a refund by 10 business days.

What not to get in a hotel room!!

There were several folks in residence, personal bbq grills and lawn furniture in front of several doors. The rooms smelled of smoke, one of the shower stalls was covered in black dye and I was afraid to walk on the carpet. Told my adult children that we’re never staying there again. The rooms were designed to promote tourism, you sure didn’t want to stay in the rooms. All in all, not so good.

I should of paid more attention to the reviews.

Upon arriving, they couldn’t get to hotels .com web site to get me checked in, took 20 minutes and three people then they found their log on pass word. My room door had a 2 inch gap at the bottom Breakfast is my worst ever. With all the rooms available they put at 2:30am loud people next to my room.
