Disappointed? A little

We we not even sure we had gotten the right room. The beds were not queen size like in the reservation. 1 made a terrible amount of noise when you moved around on it. The cleanliness was questionable. The pool had very limited hours but looked clean. Overall a NO frills place.

The best at a reasonable price. Hands down.

A very nice hotel for the price. I would book again every time. It was quiet. Clean linen. I got a nice sized room with balcony, there was a nice pool and a bench complete with bhuda statue. Hotel owner was very helpful with booking and checkin times and went the extra mile helping with my late check in. Very nice well kept hotel. I encountered not a single issue or anything seedy. A genuinely nice budget hotel that i hope stays around, even with a change in ownership. Would have loved to see the sports bar up and running. :)

Wow, these guys are something else. If I could give negative stars I would! Service and attitude was so bad it turned comical! Almost straight out of a bad sitcom! We were about 130 miles from the location when some lady named Stephanie called and said if we don't get there by 8pm our hotel room would expire and we wouldn't get our money back. First off, there was nowhere on the expedia website that stated this under the hotel description. If we knew we would have made sure to get there sooner. This Steph lady was rude and unnecessarily combative. We decided to stop and stay somewhere else that night but arrived at the hotel the next day. Once there we found out Stephanie wasn't even the manager as she had lied she was. I also purchased breakfast with the room and get this...yall ready? She said there's a coffee maker in your room and here's a packet of oatmeal! Lord I can't make this up! We stayed the second night because we were too tired to find another hotel but please please please stay away from this place! I don't even know how it's still in business! I have to now request a refund from my credit card company. I don't understand how this type of fraud businesses verified by expedia and offering to people.

Their Wi-Fi signal didn't reach the room, it was only available around the front desk area. Tried to call the front desk from the room several times and they never pick up. No AC in the room.

I've been staying here for almost a year and it's perfect for my needs. Let me make this clear for the price don't expect too much out of this place. Beds are comfortable and house keeping is done daily but there's no a/c. They do provide a plug in fan & heater. Everything works its just an old place you still get a regular standard key to open room. Room comes with tv microwave mini fridge and a coffee maker. Rooms are pretty standard and convenient but if you're looking for something modern and up to date, luxury this is definitely not your choice!

Clean and Affordable

Based on the low price for the area and the run-down exterior, I was expecting a dirty, broken room; however, I was very surprised how clean the room was. Fairly new carpet, clean walls and floors, decent bathroom and shower, working fridge and microwave.

The staff was excellent. But there were too many little things that got in the way, and I shouldn't have to deal with. The key didn't work, and got stuck in the door. The bathroom was DIRTY. Mold in the shower, something was leaking on the bathroom floor, and made it very slippery. I will not go back.
