Stayed but got the hell out of there, and will never go back
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Traveling with family, and was looking forward to going into pool. Pictures on website showing beautiful pool, and the pool was gross hasn’t been used or cleaned in years. Looks like dump area. Walked in room, and it was old outdated, and first thing I did was look under mattresses for bugs. Did not find any, but the whole place felt dirty.

Pets Allowed-Clean-Friendly
Pros:

Spacious room for handicapped accessibility for a disabled person in my party & traveling with my pet that was allowed to stay for a small reasonable fee.

Cons:

There were no diet drinks available in either vending machines. The disabled person is also a diabetic, so sugary drinks & juices were out of the question. The night clerk offered me bottled water for my friend, so that was very gracious of him.

I would never recommend a stay at this hotel
Pros:

The woman at the desk helped us out when we had an issue

Cons:

The room we got was absolutely awful, was not clean , smelled like someone lived in there that didn’t take care of their self and smoked. It was an awful stench! There were roaches crawling everywhere. Whoever cleans the room , I’m not sure how they missed the roaches. I did go to the desk and the nice lady got us moved. The room she gave us was ok for the night. Even in that room there were open condiment wrappers under the bed and behind the tv. The tv didn’t even work , the stairs were pretty nasty, looks like no one ever vacuums them. Just the whole upkeep of the place is terrible. When you google search this hotel it showed nice pictures of the pool. Ha! That was not even close to the case. It was abandoned. updates pictures of the hotel and area definitely need to be updated.

Terrible, I didn’t stay
Pros:

Front desk woman was very nice

Cons:

The entire area felt unsafe to park. The inside building counters floors everything was dirty. Then the room had a curtain that would fully close but what made me leave and not stay we body fluids and blood on the wall.
