This hotel is not ready to be open. This looks like another Wyndham property that is refurbished as a budget hotel. Lots of things not ready yet. Elevator out of order, ice machine (first floor) out of order, ice machine (second floor) so dirty, I didn't wouldn't take ice. Room furniture very old, desk chair broken, hallway light burned out making it very dark. Breakfast was subpar, even for a budget hotel. Constuction material still in various places. Parking lot area overgrown. The saving grace was the room and bed were clean. Stayed Oct 4 - 5 2025

this hotel isn’t perfect but its cheap, $300 for three nights not so bad if you decide to get a hotel cheap don’t expect it to be perfect. my experience was okay the lights flickered and shut off nothing a window cant help though. bed was clean and everything was decently clean they do need to check under things while cleaning bcz i found some deodorant and condoms😂but overall it was fine we didnt stay the whole day we went out. nobody came into our room and bothered our belongings so thats a plus. If your on a budget go here no bed bugs no bad things but if you are a little more bougie find somewhere else

Hot but not nasty

Outside needs work like everyone says. Inside wasnt bad, but the AC was either off or broken for sure. When we got to our room, it was so hot. We turned the AC on right away but it never really cooled down. Bed and sheets were clean, floor didn't feel great but bathroom was clean. Fridge was broken, had to ask for hair dryer, there was no iron. Asked for one extra pillow and there were none clean. Breakfast was fine/very basic. Didn't swim as the hours

Nice staff, dirty hotel.

The elevator was broken when we arrived. We have an 11 mo old baby, so we have a stroller, as well as luggage for our children and ourselves. The hotel staff gave us a room on the first floor. Immediately after arriving in the room, we saw a massive spider on the floor. About an hour later, we saw another one. Then we saw a third and fourth one on the walls. The wall behind the toilet had black mold. The remote control for the TV did not work. The floor was absolutely filthy. Our baby’s feet, hands, and legs were covered in dirt. We requested a new room at 11:00pm and the staff was very accommodating. They gave us a new room on the second floor. We no longer had the issue with spiders, and the room was slightly cleaner. When we brought the kids to play in the pool, it was way too cold to swim. They both got out shivering. There were broken railings in the pool area. The breakfast was good. Waffles, eggs, sausage, yogurt, coffee, cereal, milk, and orange juice were the options.

Absolutely horrible experience at this property! The room had broken glass, the fridge was filthy, the swimming pool was full of insects, and even the breakfast area had insects. I had my 2-year-old child with me, and it was completely unsafe and unlivable. We had to check out immediately and find another place to stay, costing us extra money and stress. On top of that, we had to throw away $50–$70 worth of food because the fridge was unusable. I booked this place through Expedia, trusting that it would meet basic safety and cleanliness standards. Unfortunately, it was a total disaster. I would never recommend this property to anyone, and I strongly urge Expedia to remove it from their listings.

Horrible Hotel!!!

Hotel is in poor condition. First arrived was given a key that didn’t open door. Had to return to front desk and be given another room. Once in the room no microwave was there and the tv didn’t work. Had to return to front desk to tell them that the tv didn’t work as there was no phone in the room to call the front desk! Pool was closed! Elevator was out of service! The hotel breakfast was doled out. I asked for more bagels and they brought out 3! The hotel gets a zero! We will never return again!!!!

Construction in the next room.

The outside of the location looked horrible and almost abandoned. It can't be hard to get a landscape company to come take care of this. The staff on the inside were friendly. There was a construction company working on certain rooms thru the hotel. Not on areas but rooms so the room next to you or across from you maybe getting work done. This is stupid because you assume that guest are not sleeping thru the day and thats not true. The room i was in looked like it should be on the list to get worked on.

Absolutely terrible

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. The cleanliness was absolutely nonexistent. The first room that I went into the toilet seat was completely covered in urine. The towels had what looked like rust on them. The bathtub did not look like it was properly cleaned, and there was dust and food crumbs all over the counter. If you value cleanliness this is definitely not a place you need to stay.
