After we checked it we went to the room to check it out. It was very dirty with mold on th ac unit , stains on the sheets , and 2 little beds with 3 dirty pillows. Since there was going to be 4 of us we just decided to go find something more appropriate. We should have told the desk we were leaving but we were tired and just wanted a decent place to stay

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.

Really bad.

Super gross. Linens/towels pretty much all stained. Broken down structures. The first room they put us in AC was broken. Bad smell. Messy hallway. The actual housekeeper did a good job given the terrible situation they're working in.

NO WAY!

The pictures were deceiving. It appeared to be a decent hotel. A group of 7, we got 2 rooms. I walked into my room, the heat bursted out the door as soon as I opened it. Rich with the scent of dog urine. It’s pet friendly, but whoever had pets was not. They picked the feces off the floor but left whatever stuck to the carpet. I have never seen anything as disgusting. My mom came in. She ended up getting us about her room. It was even worse with the smell. We opened the windows hoping to air it out. We all rode in silence to get dinner. All in shock. As we came too we realized we are not that desperate to accept those conditions. We got back. I walked into my mom’s room and I was shocked at how disturbingly stained her carpet was. Not an area of the carpet was unstained. I’m not even exaggerating when I say we couldn’t even take our shoes off in there. Back to airing out the rooms it actually seemed worse. It was appalling. My mom’s room actually had blood on the wall and a used bar of soap in the bathroom. I don’t know what kind of operation they are running but hotels.com needs to take this off the site.
