Pros:

The hotel was very dated, mismatched bedding and towels by the sink and in the bathroom. Carpets were very worn and past what a shampoo can do. Tissue holder came apart and to top it off we had cold showers at 8 am on a Saturday morning. Beds were very hard and the pillows were flat.

Dogs are allowed in rooms and barked multiple times throughout the night and early morning hours.

Hotel staff experienced internet issues upon check-in. The lobby was very hot and uncomfortable. The room was a little cooler, but not by much.

WiFi didn’t work. The term ‘breakfast’ was a gross overstatement. They had two kinds of cereal and milk.

Pros:

To conserve energy the AC is encouraged to be off anytime you aren’t in your room. Meaning we walked in on the hottest day of the year to a hot hotel. It never did catch up through the night.

Pros:

The beds were very low to the ground, rooms smelt very damp and musty and staff didn't speak hardly any English. The price was reasonable compared to other hotels in that area of the state and staff was friendly.

Pros:

When we got to the room we had no tv. Went to front desks and they said they were having technical difficulties and the people would not come out on the weekend to fix it so we went to Dollar General to get a dvd player so we had something to watch. There was no coffee maker in room and they just had a regular household coffee maker in breakfast area. The towels were stained but other than that it was a decent place to stay.
