So many things turned me off about this property. Some of the more important aspects that need to be taken care of our safety and security. Upon entering our room room, the very first thing we noticed was that the door latch was not properly secured to the door that could potentially cause an issue for entering and exiting the unit while it’s unlocked. A big fire safety hazard if someone gets stuck in their room because the latch is catching on the couch plate. Also, the smoke detector was removed from the room, multiple plugs in the outlet and one had sheathing that was cut or torn, exposing wire. The bed was lumpy, toilet head, a mold, ring, dirty lampshade, switch plates and outlets. Both the mini fridge and microwave were dirty, and even though the floor looked clean, the bottom of my feet proved otherwise after taking a couple steps without my shoes on. The linens and towels seem to be clean. Wallpaper was peeling in many places in the unit. Several flies and gnatsin the unit, some dead in the windowsills.

I came for a concert that was at the fair. The room was very dirty, even the shower. The beds are horrible. There was no breakfast. Vending machines were empty. People were yelling down at you from the balconies, which is weird. I was grateful for the location though and I could just walk to the concert because parking was crazy for the fair.

Get what you pay for. Sheets had a few stains on the sides, bathroom wall and door was very cracked and just looked old and run down. We wore flip flops even in the shower as floors and shower didn't look very clean. Worked for what we needed though and only bugs were gnats.

The best I could do

The pool was closed, looked lile for a long time , the grounds were 3rd world as fas as cleanliness went it wasn't your regular Days Inn. It didn't look like the pictures in the travel brochures. The place was always packed , which means they make a lot of $$$$$, so hire some help to keep up on your investment. If you advertise a pool make sure its open.

The door to my room was covered in what looked like soda or something that had never been cleaned off. It made me not want to touch the door handle. Also the outside trash cans seemed to always be full. The room inside was clean but several areas in need of repair. The areas that were cosmetic didn't really bother me but the tv didnt work. Everything else was ok.

No frills decent place but…

We stayed at this hotel for the state fair showing animals and came back ready for a shower all 3 nights. However, our room was never cleaned and never had towels. We went down and asked for new towels and asked why our room wasn’t cleaned and was told they didn’t have anymore towels at the moment. It’s no frills but a decent place to stay.
