Very pleased...
This property was amazing, much above what I expected. Location is kind of ducked off, place even had a basketball court! If I am ever back in the area then I have every intention on staying here again. Still conveniently located right off the highway though, so plenty of everything you could need nearby. Probably the highest exceeding of expectation thatI've everhad with a hotel!

2/10 Poor

This is the nastiest hotel I’ve ever seen! My room had dead bugs all over, hair balls and the tub had long strands of hair and dirt rings. There was blood splatters on the wall and door frames, paint peeling on the ceiling and wallpaper peeling from the walls. The shower curtain was mildewed and yellow stained. The air worked when it wanted. They did not and would not provide fresh towels daily. The manager was very, very rude saying if the room is for two people you get two towels for your stay. He was not very accommodating when questioned about the dead bugs and other issues in the room. I booked for two nights but after the first night I couldn’t take it and decided to leave. He told me that was my problem and no refunds. This place should be condemned! It smells of must and mildew, broken windows, pool is very nasty and unsanitary. I’m also reporting them to the health department as well! I wish I could add pics to this review.

The facilities in its day were very nice. They need to fix the hot tub and do more than just the minimum in providing towels and breakfast food a selection of juices for breakfast. They are driving people away by not being more friendly and only doing the minimum It’s still a nice hotel and just fix some of the basics Continue to keep your prices low You don’t need a major face lift or spend a lot of money on the place or you will have to raise your prices too much and then when your prices are higher you won’t stack up to your competitors

The room was a mess and the pool was dirty, I waited 10 minutes for someone to come let me into the pool!!! There was piles of trash outside of the door and much more, do not book!!

2/10 Poor

Worst stay ever
It was ran by a very unprofessional family that lived in part of the hotel. I thought it looked nice online but its nothing like the pictures. The halls smell moldy and the wall paper was peeling everywhere. The pool has no chlorine and has bugs and algae. Breakfast was old and the griddle was dirty. Overall a terrible place you would Think it was either just opened before inspection or about to go out of business. A family had all of their things stolen out of their room.

Pool was not clean. Sand and hair in areas. TV remote didn’t work to turn on and off or volume but did change channels. Asked someone to fix no resolution. 2 separate spots of hair behind door in bathroom. Breakfast was included was not anything special. Things ran out early and never replaced. Grass was overgrown. Looks like landscaping hasn’t been done in months. Back of hotel grass was knee high

The outside of Building looks rundown the security doors at the end. Do not lock completely busted. The pictures are valid. But there is apparently no grounds work being done. That along with the Exterior needing repair Gives you the Impression that you're overpaying. They're overall cleanliness was OK inside.
