Run as far away from this place as possible! Absolutely the most disgusting hotel ive ever seen. Pet hair on the bedding, giant mold spot on the wall by ac that was broken, and taped together. Huge water stain by the ac disgusting brown "stuff" smashed in the carpet. Sink was non functional but had a steady trickle you couldnt shut off. Honestly so much more. The best thing would be to burn this place to the ground and start over the owners should be ashamed of the level of disrepair, mold, stains, and horrible uncleanliness. House keeping also removed my phone charger from the room and i now have to buy another. I would not stay here again if they payed me 10x the amount they charge.

The place is falling apart. Fixtures barely hanging on. Hole in the wall. Window not sealed. Sink counter sloped. Carpet in pieces. Parking lot very cracked and various bits of trash. Small black spots on the AC vents. They seriously need to bring in some maintenence guys. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable, staff was helpful, and they had waffles for free breakfat.

Had two rooms. One of the entry doors to our room was hard to shut, the door didn’t line up with the door jam so had to slam it shut just to close it. The toilet in one of the rooms was broken on the seat and you had to hold the handle to flush it. The shower did not drain well so you were standing in water to almost the calves with hardly any time being in the shower. There was mold, mildew under the air conditioner. Smelled like cigarette smoke in the lobby although it is a smoke free place.

Property didn't look like the pictures posted. Got there and the first room was stained and dirty. Toilet wouldn't flush. Got moved to their "best room" .. once in the room there were holes in the bathroom doors, window glass was falling out of the opening to the outside of the property. Bed sheets were stained as well as the chairs in the room for sitting. Strong urine odor in bathrooms of both rooms. Receptionist was nice and understood the concern. He mentioned he has told the owner about these issues before and they do not care or make any changes. Receptionist was honest and tried to help as much as he could. Property owner is to blame for how this all was. Other guest were trying to also leave due to the same issues. Place should be shut down.
