The best sleep I had for months! Not only are they curious but also give you your space and not all up in your business. And at the same time willing to accommodate any and all of those little things you want....

Property manager was great and went above and beyond. Kept my bag for me while I went out for the day. Offered extra water.

Smell was horrible. Room was supposedly non-smoking but the smell of cigarettes was pungent. AC did not work properly. Spent the weekend in 100 degree heat with a barely usable AC unit. Bathroom sink was coming off. Smell lingers on everything. I’ve been home for a couple of days and I can still smell the horrid smell. DO NOT STAY HERE!

This property was my worth experience in staying at hotel. All furnitures were broken, we reserved room for three people and there were not even enough soap for one person. I complained to hotel manager and he said, they are going to renovate the place soon, but don’t understand why hotel terrible condition was not mentioned as part of listing.

Do not recommend. Moldy smell in the room. Everything seemed and felt dirty. Needs a major upgrade.
1-night trip

2/10

Please look at the guest pictures! The pictures the hotel provided are just catfishing. The hotel is so run down. The inside of our room door had tape on the lock. I had to put the chair in front of it to feel somewhat safe. The beds had questionable stains. The feet on the beds were bending. Thank goodness I took blankets for my baby. The fridge had mold. Please be aware when booking

Place its really dirty and in bad condition, fridge does not work, AC is full of dust, both of my beds were badly stain of something brown, ice machine does not work with posible meldew. a non smoking room smells like cigarettes everywhere, in my whole weekend i didnt get the room clean a single time, no clean towel and toilet got clog. To make this worse place charge me extra to day I check in just for getting double twin bed instead of a king bed.

Poorly maintained. Things didn't work. Needed repairs and a good paint job. Bed was uncomfortable, pillows long passed usable.

The bed was very old, hard and springs poking me. It smelled like bug spray and there was an outer door on one of the walls that had been taped up to cover a big hole.
