This place should have been condemned and torn down years ago. This place is a dumpster that is meant for Methany and Haroldoin, not travelers visiting family. The manager and his wife are the most miserable people ever. His wife looks like she’s one vacuuming away from offing herself with the cord. Their idea of “breakfast” is old stale cereal, waffle mix that is 3/4 oil and moldy old fruit. The toilet in my room had a big glob of blood and a clot at the base. Nobody came to clean it for three days. I didn’t use my bathroom for 72 hours, choosing to walk to the fast food place and do my business. I showered at the gym. Luckily I bring my own sheets and blankets/pillows everywhere I travel because Methany and Haroldoin left stains. I had no choice but to stay as this website refused to refund me. Thanks Expedia. You truly are some greedy MFs to keep renting this landfill out to people.

When pulling into the hotel at first glance it looked abandoned. I grew up in this town and this hotel was not like this a coupe years ago.. my son was just born about 6 months ago and i had him with us. I went to check the room first for cleanliness but not to any suprised there were food and soda stains on the walls. The beds had stains all over them. Fresh cup rings onnthe counter tops and thr bathrooms. Dont get me started. Forhow much they charge they should be ashamed for staying open.
