Stay IF You Have To!

Stay here as a last resort. This is an older property desperately in need of repair. The property as a whole needs a makeover. The rooms are in need of repair. The a/c cooled but was not cold. The bathroom door was broken and would not shut. The water pressure was very low. The floors were not mopped. The lobby was very dark

This place was so dirty, so many bugs the bed smelled horrible the mattresses were very questionable, she sheets smelled like BO the area seemed very unsafe, roaches were everywhere, the walls, the bathroom, and there may or may not have been bedbugs. I get it. Its a cheap place but it was just disgusting rooms should be like 40 bucks at that conditon.

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
