UNSANITARY, OUTDATED, MOLD, BLOOD STAINS, BAD PLUMBING, SAVE YOUR MONEY DO NOT STAY HERE!
Pros:

Very old, outdated, and not clean. The first room’s window unit for heat and a/c smelt like urine when we had it running. On top of that, there were random pills and some Cheetos in the hideaway bed. Then they gave us two sets of linen and both had stains all over them. It was so bad that we went to the front desk to see what they could do. They offered a different room, at which point I accepted as it was late and we had a dance competition the next day. The second room was very minimally better, we basically just didn’t run the air unit at all so it wouldn’t stink in that room. We had booked a 2 night stay, and decided we would check out Saturday and go elsewhere. My daughter was dancing that morning so we didn’t get out of the hotel until 1pm. Check out is noon. We talked to the front desk to see if we could get a refund for the second night. They said they had to talk to their manager, and would call us back. 4 hours later they hadn’t called back so we reached out to them. They said their manager’s decision was to not refund us ANY money since we checked out 1 hour late. NEVER AGAIN, this is unacceptable customer service. I was and still am completely disgusted with the entire situation, especially since we paid 400 for the two nights because that was the rates at the time of booking. SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME, STRESS, AND MONEY- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS PLACE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Cold showers, green swimming pool and a disobliging clerk make for a questionable stay
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. The clerk was accommodating. He switched us to an inside room. The pool was warm. No bed bugs.

Cons:

The pool was green. There isn't any hot water in the shower! When I reported it to the manager, he said there wasn't any problem and at this time he is unwilling to give any sort of refund or adjustments to the rate. Almost $300 is too much to pay to not get a shower.

Fair
Cons:

The rooms need remodeling the carpets are in bad shape n smell really bad room 114 after the 2nd night the carpet was all wet. Moved to room 408 the toilet is all loose our American flag in front was all torn all of uncles n aunties n my Dad were in the service. Of course everyone is gone. my brother travels with me h



to visit there grave site. The breakfast was not the greatest there was never any type of protein meat. The only day that they put out that was Saturday September 27th every day a breakfast should consist on some eggs maybe rotation of bacon, sausage,
links,hot dog fried, country potatoes, hash browns
For 2 days in a row there was no yogurt. On Thursday by 8:30am there was no begals no toast the bananas were all black. every day went at different times n looks like nobody comes n checks if there's anything that needs replacing. One staff member was very friendly. The man's bathroom in the lobby really needs cleaning specially the urinal.
