Very disappointed. My headboard had what look like human fecies dripping down my headboard. Room phone didnt work. Window frames are broken and really dirty. The blankets are not even blankets. Literal sheets! As well as pillow cases i thought the cases were the pillow. Towels i dont even want to get started. My soap in the shower had mens hair. All over it. Cleaning. Overall i do not recommend at all.

Not for families

They didnt check us into the second room. Then when we were asleep in bed already, they called us and said were we going to come to the motel to stay at 11 pm! No coffee or milk for cereal at the "breakfast". The bathroom sink was molded.

First of all, the place was listed as a hotel and it was a motel which was misleading. The fridge and the ac/heater were making a lot of noise which made it really hard to rest. We spoke with the staff and no one was able to solve the issue, the phone on our room was also either not working or no one ever answer our calls. Also the lighting was not great, the window curtain did not cover all the light coming through during the night time and made it very difficult to sleep. The floor was squeaking in the first floor and the second, and we could hear all the steps and noises from the people above us, overall, the place is not quiet and lots of noises around and the lighting needs improvement…

Could use more comfort

Room was updated. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and the room never got dark because of the outdoor lighting. Maybe some room darkening curtains would help.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE!!

Had no hot water, they came to “fix” it and barely made a difference. Also says there was breakfast included, majority of it was “out of order” and “not available”. Sink was clogged, most of the furniture in the room was broken and/ or handles falling off of drawers. Paid $500 for 2 nights and was AWFUL. Talked to other residents and they all said this place looked NOTHING like the pictures. They show pictures of jetted bathtubs and when the lobby was asked about it they said none of their rooms had jetted tubs. All reviews on this place are paid reviews.
