Don’t stay here, cheap is cheap.
The hotel was dirty, smelled. A fire alarm near by had dying batteries so beeped all night and all day. There was a wasp in my room and they squished it against the wall. Gross.

Worst stay with Hotels.com
Called previous day was told jacuzzi worked got there did not work. Pool are was dirty, gross. Beds were hard, rooms had a bad odor. Front desk little English & couldn’t understand my complaints. Would not swap rooms when asked. I already paid through hotels.com would not reimburse or discount my room. Breakfast sucked. Had just cereal & waffles. Kids said waffles did not taste right so threw away. Went somewhere else for breakfast. Area also dirty.

Would 100% not recommend.
The pictures online did not resemble the room we were given. I immediately checked for bed bugs and found yellow stained matresses. Grimey, fingerprinted head board, oily film on floor, chipped paint on every wall. Black hair on the "freshly" made bed. We were in the room 15 minutes and checked out. Unfortunately it was a non refundable room, so we ate the cost. The clientele coming in and out of the hotel was enough to put anyone on high alert.

Only stayed 5 minutes
We only stayed 5 minutes. The entire bathroom was covered in mold. My husband has pictures. The floor was filthy and there was hair in between the sheets. We tried to get a refund and were refused.

hot tub dirty and not working there was obvious Renos going on by owners I assume since it looked very unorganized. other people staying on first floor had pictures of bed bugs they were arguing at the desk they wanted money back. I did not see any on 2nd floor but wasn't really looking.

The room floor was dirty, not even swapped, bath tub and surrounding were not clean. I found a bed bug under the pillow!!! I had complained to the person by the motel desk. After short conversation he gave me a card to the next room which supposed to be in better shape. Unfortunately the 2nd room was pretty much at the same condition (not swept floor, blurred towels) I decided to leave that place immediately and I made a second reservation at different location. Do not recommend that property. Cleanliness was terrible!

The room was very dated, the bed spreads were stained and the headboards were worn and sticky. The hotel was full of people but only one staff at the front desk for all the check ins. Really not a place i would ever stay again.

The property was run down. There were roaches in my room. It rained and water came through my door. The pool was green and foamy. The plugs didn’t work to charge my phone. Extremely noisy-you could hear every sound through the walls and ceiling. VERY DISAPPOINTING

AC didn’t work and the front desk said “Open the Window” like are you serious. Paid over $240 for a night and was treated like straight trash without a concern nor care in the world and smiled the next morning when confronted. I will never stay at that place again nor recommend that nasty place!

Gross
Upon arrival to the hotel we noticed the pool water was very dark like couldn’t see the bottom of the pool, the smell was awful as if there was no cleaners being used and black mold growing all over the pool areas. Also getting into rooms there were bugs all over the floor. Don’t let to hotel photos fool you it is so run down and not kept up with and we o ly booked because it was the only hotel with the slide available that weekend for our two kids to play in.
