Upon entering the hotel, it smelled dirty. When we entered our room, there was a live roach on our door. The hallway had food crumbs on the carpet for the whole stay (weekend). Light fixture had stuff leaking. Just overall, not a good place.

The property was far from the condition in the photos. The pictures were old and led about the condition of the hotel and ground. It was absolutely disgusting and you could smell the mold. There were multiple locations in the hotel marked off with caution tape leaking water and visibly moldy. We didn't stay and never got a refund for the room.
