The staff here are great; very helpful and accommodating when need be. I have stayed here numerous times and will again. Yes the hotel is dated and some parts are a little run down, but it’s plenty passable and a comfortable stay. Great price as well.

This property was so offensive that we didn’t even stay. The smell of cigarettes was absolutely disgusting! All amenities were marked out of order. The entire campus was dirty and unkempt. I’ve never been in such a disgusting hotel! I didn’t even ask for a refund. We just left the keys and got out of there. 100% WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Could not stay was a wast of money. The lobby was decent. The halls to the room were hazy with cigarette smoke, the room reaked of cigarette smoke, hole in the wall, very unclean, holes in the bathtub, only one door worked other than the main loby, did not feel safe at all. The parking lot had piles of old tree branches everywhere. Definitely do not stay here, very unsafe and disgusting.

Dirty, smelly, not worth the cheap price

The room smelled of old cigarette smoke, with visible residue on the floor and walls. The faucet in the shower was leaking the whole time we stayed, but we left an hour after we arrived because the state of this hotel was so disgusting. If you can help it, go somewhere else.

The property it’s self isn’t bad just has not been well upkeep in the past few weeks it’s now under new ownership and the new owners have been VERY busy cleaning the whole property up the outside grounds have been cleaned up and now the rooms are being cleaned and fixing broken amenities I believe in a short time this hotel will be running much better and the only issue here will be the type of residents and guests that have been using it

We arrived at the facility on July 24th. The prices are really low so that’s why we chose this hotel. The staff is friendly enough, but they don’t get the job done. Air conditioning is leaking all over the building and the toilets do not work clogged sinks. Television issues. Facility is not clean.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Entering the building there is a strange odor that is present throughout the facility. The hallways have visible damage and stains all over the walls and carpet. Inside my personal room: the safety lock on the door was removed, the safety rails in the shower were broken off, none of the surfaces were clean as there was crumbs and liquids still present. The final straw was half of the room was flooded with sopping wet carpet due to a broken AC unit. When I went to complain at the front desk, there were no other rooms available. The only pleasant part of the experience was they did grant me a refund.

Horrible. Place needs to be shutdown. The only good thing about it was the guy behind the counter. He gave me a refund without being an issue. The lobby smells of mold and mildew. The room smelt of urine and meth. There was an active drug deal happening in the room next to mine. The lock was busted off the door. The door between the conjoined rooms was “secured” with a dollar store chain lock, tape and wishful thinking. Bathroom was gross, beds were gross. It was all gross. Bugs, all kinds. It’s great place to stay if you’re looking to bring home roaches or hepatitis.
