Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

I usually like this place. But they have going down lately.

Paid 60 for one night, noted and selected i was bringing a pet. No pet fees were applied. Normally it pops up before i check out when I get rooms on here.
Didnt show any fees for pet so I assumed there was none.

Once I arrived they added an additional 50$. It would have been nice to know this before hand driving all the way over here.
The room was smelly & couch bed was disgusting. Stains and mattress part was filthy.

Sad to see it go this route.
Definitely not worth 120 for one night.

Stay was good, location was great, staff super nice. It’s just needs more attention to detail
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

Could use an upgrade on certain areas inside the rooms. Definitely can’t blame the rusty tub, but the bed sheets underneath, closes to the mattress were definitely gross and needed cleaning. The top bed sheets was clean, just to one directly on the mattress was dirty on both beds. Very unsanitary.

We stayed there for 3 days I have two elderly parents I myself heart failure with the pacemaker but that doesn't mean life doesn't continue I was trying to enjoy grandparents weekend with my parents requested first floor I understand they didn't have any try it again they still didn't accommodate to me it was very frustrating going up and down the stairs two elderly parents I am so regret it they couldn't accommodate to my needs the restroom was very dirty the shower curtain smelled gross. The floors were so cracky every time we walk they would crack very very unsanitized I would never ever stay here again.

The location was very convenient but the place was dirty.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It was very dirty, the fridge smelled like old seafood and the shower had mold. There were stains on the pull out couch cover so it obviously hadn’t been changed. Overall just nasty room.

Unclean, not worth the money
Pros:

The paint color is cute and the location isn’t bad.

Cons:

The floor was sticky even after we asked for it to be cleaned. The bathroom was utterly disgusting - rust and hair. The beds were tiny we slept separately. I don’t know how this was rated a 4 star… maybe 2. And for the astronomical cost? Insane. The kitchenette had ZERO things in the cup boards… and they were all stained.

Wet floors great pool and got tub
Pros:

We love the location. We were able to access it with a gold cart. The dollar general is right next door. The pool is in the center of the two buildings and the hot tub was there too. It was great when we used it because we were the only ones there for a while.

Cons:

The floors were sweating. The floors were so wet. The hotel had slippery wet floors due to the humidity. They might need to consider installing humidifiers. We had a box fan so that was helpful except between the 2 queen beds it stayed wet because the fan was not reaching that area.

Gone downhill, management needs to step it up
Pros:

This has been a favorite of ours for several years, but it has gone down hill

Cons:

Our room was not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival, I was told it was dust from the construction, but after cleaning it myself and later finding writing on our mirror after a shower- it was clear it was not cleaned thoroughly.
I wiped everything down, including the head board that had handprints on it- eww. And swept the room after asking the front desk for a broom.

Originally they did offer to move us, I declined because I was told it was just dusty from construction, and so I asked for a broom. My son was sleeping after our long drive in and we were already unpacking, so moving seemed silly for dust- I wish after wiping it down I would have just moved.

Management has been Informed I'll see if they contact me
