Pros:

The staff was very nice. The hotel was clean. It would've been nice to use the pool but it was closed. The bathroom and curtains needs an update. For the price it was good.

Pros:

Once checked in, we placed our belongings in the room, we left for the evening to drive down to South Carolina. When we returned around 10 PM, we walked into a nightmare—roaches were crawling everywhere, including across the floor and even inside the drawers.
It was so bad we couldn’t stay the night and had to leave immediately and find another place to stay.
Absolutely unacceptable conditions.

Won’t give you owners contact info, only said to call the hotel and ask for AD.
