There was beer bottles and trash all around the ice machine. There was trash littered all over outside where you park. The pillows were the size of decorative couch pillows. The room was hot when we arrived and didn’t cool off efficiently. The front desk staff was okay. Not welcoming but not rude. For the price we paid to stay here, I would’ve expected quite a bit better experience.

No glasses or ice bucket in the rooms and the fridge either didn’t work or wasn’t plugged in. Tangle of cords in back made it too hard to tell. The front desk gave us a baggie to put ice into. Even he didn’t have an ice bucket to give us to use.

Nothing... the only redeeming quality of this hotel is location. There is a chick-fil-a across the street.

Breakfast was not very appealing. Could hardly get in the bathroom. Had to squeeze by the bed.

This place is a DUMP!

This place is a DUMP! It probably violates every health code that relates to hotels! There was graffiti on the walls, the bedspread was splattered with paint as if it was used as a drop cloth, th bathroom door wouldn't close because it broken and splintered. The bathroom was grungy and the general housekeeping of the room was poor.

Room had a very musty smokey odor.

Room had Musty smokey smell. Claimed To be a non smoking room as requested but no symbol on the door. It was one of 4 rooms without the symbol. We have stayed in the past there. Don't think we will be back.
