Pros:

It was close to where we wanted to stay. There was only 1 room available with 2 beds so when we found out the toilet did not flush we were not able to change rooms. The front desk came immediately to check but had to call for maintenance to come. Not at the property - had to wait almost 2 hours. Did not arrive until 9:30 PM which is not acceptable after a long day of driving.

Pros:

The staff was nice. Property is in absolutely terrible shape. First thing was a sign saying park at your own risk! AC did not work. Was told to unplug and plug back in. Toilet flushed very slow. Soft parts to the floor. Heard the people next door all night long.

Pros:

I originally booked this place due to the rating but it was evident upon arrival that this place hadn’t been maintained or updated in years. There were torn window screens, inside there was sloppy paint and wall repairs and old carpet in the room I reserved for me and my dog. There was a significantly strong odor that resembled body odor outside and around the entire building, but the inside had a pleasant smell.

The elevator was helpful. When I got to my second floor room, the AC had not been turned on and a ceiling fan was present but the cord was wrapped around the blades and I couldn’t reach it. It was a super humid and hot evening/morning (I arrived around 3am) and it took over 40 minutes for the room to cool down. There was sloppy “repair” and paint work (smeared drips) yet again in the bathroom and vanity area.

The bed and pillows were comfortable as were the sheets. However, there was a stiff, itchy, thin, not quite a wool blanket, but not quite a comforter on top.

Overall I felt safe in the area, was able to sleep in a little (appreciated the 11am check out although how to check out wasn’t explained so I hope leaving the key card at the desk was okay) and sleep comfortably. I appreciated the low $ pet fee, however

Pros:

Absolutely disgusting hotel! The location was sketchy, with no good restaurants close by. The outside of the building looked like homeless people lived there, with no landscaping at all. A horrible odor permeated the whole hotel. When we arrived at our room, the door was propped open with a dirty towel. Our room had a broken window that wouldn't close, no sheer curtain (which made it very dark), and the carpet was filthy. The air conditioning unit clanked continuously, and the toilet handle had to be jiggled. A safety bar on the tub would have been helpful. The breakfast was so-so, but the juice wasn't chilled and the orange juice was brown. There were two good things - the staff was very friendly, and the refrigerator had a freezer. FIND ANOTHER HOTEL!!!

Pros:

Was put into a room with someone in it at 1st. Then the room we got looked nothing like the pictures! Room was old, dirty, and disgusting! This was by far the one of the worst we have ever stayed in.

Never Again
Pros:

the one thing that a hotel should provide is a good nights sleep, that was impossible here. Pipes banging, exhaust fans screeching, paper thin walls, guests running ramped yelling, screaming, knocking on doors at 2am.

Never Again.
