Very dirty. Tv was busted and had weird mold spots in the first room. Second room had roaches. Hotel desk clerk was extremely nice and they gave us a refund no issues. Decent people just a terrible hotel. The pool looked decent.

OK for Quick Over-nighter w/ VERY LOW Expectations
Desk personnel were very good. Room had a couple issues with broken items, for example the toilet paper holder, but was clean and comfortable. Breakfast advertised, but I went by at 6:10am and there was cold cereal, a coffee machine, really old pump creamer containers (creamer separated or overly thick), and a juice machine.
Staff was nice, cleaned my room daily, but shower was disgusting the water had rotted out the metal door frame and allows water to go into living space behind the wall. Room shouldnt be rented it needs to be fixed whole wall is open and rotting mold and whatever else inside it. Only stayed due to no refund policy 2 nights for work.
The front desk person was nice but the property was scary. The room was gross and smelled of stale cigarettes. There was some shady characters staying and wandering around so we chose to vacate and stay somewhere else safer.
I love the place it’s quiet the rooms are clean nice and tide blankets are clean and washed floors are clean as well bed is nice and soft. The lady in the front office was such a sweet heart

It was nice. The other guest were very noisy. Slamming doors and being loud all night.
I made the mistake of not changing the number of people for the booking and when I went to the front desk to ask for more toilet paper & towels I was told they couldn’t give any due to the booking being for only 1 person. I would not stay here again
