Will stay here if I have to but I’ll bring my own chair and cleaning supplies lol
Pros:

Staff was nice

Cons:

Room was sooooo dirty! My feet stuck to the floor so I mopped it, hand prints all over doors, handles, fridge etc. paid for a suite but there was NO WHERE TO SIT! Living room had no furniture and they didn’t have one to give me for the 3 days I was there. Mngt/owners were not present nor knew this was an issue when I checked in. I waited almost two hours to get into my room due to this.

This place is a wreck .
Pros:

The woman at the front desk was great.

Cons:

Ensuring else. The door didn't lock and they didn't know how to fix it. We put a chair under the handle. It stunk. Their was no pool, their was no couch in our "deluxe queen suite". The beds were like trampolines. Their was no phone so we had to keep going to the lobby with every problem and there were many. We asked for a refund of one night for all the issues and the manager didn't even respond to the desk clerk.

Won’t every stay there again .
Pros:

The staff was very nice.

Cons:

We had a room on the first floor which was dirty with mouse droppings in the kitchen draws. The keys didn’t lock the door so we were moved to another room where the tv didnt work, graffiti on the bathroom door, the toilet didn’t flush correctly . We will never go there again. Very run down appearance.

Hell sunshine as the sign said in the lobby
Pros:

Nothing - this felt so icky - breakfast food expired/moldy and scarce.

Cons:

The property smelled bad - and the attempt to cover with candles and freshener made it grosser.
Staff were not available at expected times and then reported housekeeping quit that morning - couldn’t tell because the rooms were not clean, hair and soap scrub and a general film on everything. Beds were very uncomfortable like the springs and frame were going to break.
I feel emmense guilt having my family stay there.
