Service was good. Didn’t have high expectations due to the price and for the most part the quality reflected the price. My mine complaint is the mold and the amount silver fish in the bathroom.

When I first pulled in, the hotel itself gave off bad vibes, doors opening directly outdoors, each room having an outside chair and a small bucket for cigarettes (I don't smoke for the record) and it just looked like one of those cheap motels people might stay in for an extended period when they don't have a lot of options. When I first got into my room, I was nervous about what I was going to see. But it was clean, the WiFi was strong, TV had plenty of channels, it had a large refrigerator, the bed was comfortable, this was a great room! The only downside was the breakfast options. Because the tables were right up against the windows, I decided to take what I wanted back to my room, rather than sit where I'd exposed to the sun's heat. Not too bad of a place

First there was trash all over outside the facility as well as cans overflowing. Our door lock....no chain and the deadbolt didn't work. The lady provided us a medium size bag of ice, instead of allowing us to get our own. The room was clean and we couldn't hear the neighbors when the door was closed. Location wasn't bad for one night but we will not be returning. During check-in, she couldn't find my reservation and asked me if I had already paid. I could have lied but didn't and made sure I paid her.

This hotel needs a lot of work if not a complete renovation. It smells like fish likely from the sitting water in the pool. The bathtubs are dirty, stained, and peeling. There is paint splatter for the layered paint. Smells like mildew. If it wasn’t so late I would have requested a refund and moved somewhere else. We booked two nights but only stayed one. There was no real breakfast just coffee and a muffin, there was only two muffins the few times I checked. Sadly not even worth the low budget price you pay.

The room was absolutely horrible, it smelt like smoke. It was very dirty. There was urine all on the toilet there was stuff all over the walls. The pillows were like airplane pillows, so tiny, and there wasn’t even a real blankets on the bed. There was stuff all over the floor. The air conditioning barely worked. The bathtub was disgusting. Even the smoke detector didn’t have batteries in it. It was left open. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody especially families with children.

Won't go there again.

The first room had 2 beds first one I looked at had sheets that had hair on them and looked dirty. The front desk lady brought more sheets but as she was gone I discovered the 2nd bedding was also not up to my comfort so she took us to a different room that looked a little better but there was stains on the carpet that looked like blood. After I Lysoled the whole room we did finally sleep but just didn't feel at ease or comfortable there. Didn't like the kids touching anything. I just had a bad feeling lots of bad things have happened there for some reason and didn't like having my grandkids there. It was supposed to have free breakfast but there was no coffee out, and only 2 xsmall (tiny) muffins and a small honey bun and that was it. Just didn't feel good.

drop them from your site. Very bad for business

I didn’t get to stay. They refused to let me check in. One of the men was very rude to me. Pretty much yelled at me. I’ve already talked to you guys twice and should be receiving a refund by 10 business days.

What not to get in a hotel room!!

There were several folks in residence, personal bbq grills and lawn furniture in front of several doors. The rooms smelled of smoke, one of the shower stalls was covered in black dye and I was afraid to walk on the carpet. Told my adult children that we’re never staying there again. The rooms were designed to promote tourism, you sure didn’t want to stay in the rooms. All in all, not so good.

There was no in room coffee and I don't like the fact that they had already charged my card before I had even gotten there and checked in. Someone was playing loud music right outside of our door. Over all our stay Wash not very good
