Stay
Pros:

The air conditioner worked really good. It was quite. The bed was comfortable

Cons:

Water pressure was terrible. Took forever to wash and rinse my hair. Tub was dirty
There was paint chipped off the wall in the room.
Door to come in and out of the building was broken.
Went to wash clothes in the washer. There was ink in the machine where a pen exploded. Went to the front desk and they said they will tell the manager. Ink was still in the machine the next day.

DON'T STAY HERE!
Pros:

NO CLEANING, no breakfast, no coffee, no pool, only 1 working washing machine in the entire building. A HOMELESS WIERDO, and all his property, living in the hallway. Wouldn't even provide clean towels or toilet paper, much less clean sheets.
And the female working the front desk at night DEFINITELY needs an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!

Cons:

Everything. See above.

My stay here felt incredibly special and genuine
Pros:

I enjoyed the hospitality when I first arrived Management Sharon and staff greeted me with kindness and accommodated all my needs I felt the tender care of a hardworking family pulling together to help others during bad weather conditions plus so much more they were overwhelmed over worked and had to turn others away, but they were still threw it all kind and pleasant warm and inviting, they care about others and go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable as you should being helped here is like a home away from home

Cons:

I did not like how others treated some of the staff

Very poor room quality for how much they are charging. I've stayed in better places for way cheaper.
Pros:

Close to everything

Cons:

The condition of the room was unacceptable. Broken window, broken lights, ripped out baseboards, holes in bathroom wall, lights above beds shorted out. Window broken so bad I could have pushed out the glass and reached outside. The staff shouldn't have given that room to anyone taking everything into consideration. Room 148 is absolutely unacceptable. I didn't expect perfect, but that was beyond bad. They should be embarrassed.

Great stay and recommendations
Pros:

We left earlier in the morning and the gal offered to make coffee before the breakfast service started . Thank you for accommodating us early ! They also recommended a place to eat, it was a family owned business that had been in business for 40 + years, great food!
