Okay, but not great

Pool & hot tub was closed when we arrived. Tub drain was plugged/full of hair. A couple sheets of toilet paper or paper towel were on the floor in the elevator Fri & Sat. At the end of our stay the toilet wouldn't flush and there was a chair and towel at the bottom of the pool, we were told it would be removed, but it never was so we left.

Could have been better.

Hallway floors were noisy when walking, walls were patchy, room was ok, very stark, bathroom light was low and off center from the mirror, bathroom door was hard to close. Breakfast in the morning was minimal, country potatoes were grey, eggs were watery and there wasn’t any coffee. For what I paid, felt like the property could have been better, nicer looking and at least coffee in the morning.

The entry way was hot like you stepped into a sauna. There was no staff behind the counter to greet it, you had to call them on a phone. The carpet was dirty and bumpy, our luggage wouldn’t even wheel down the hall. The room was disgusting!! A hideous over powering bleach smell smacked you in the face as you opened the door. It was so hard to breathe instantly with the smell! The beds looked very lumpy like they just threw the comforter back on after others have been in the bed and they pulled the covers up to make it look made. The carpet was disgusting to walk on with shoes, it just felt grungy. Cheap or not DO NOT STAY here. When I checked out right away, the guy was so confused and shocked on everything I was saying.
