Never would return even if they paid me to stay

1. Entered room and picture on wall had glass shattered and shoved back into the frame in pieces - ready to fall. 2. Room was like a sauna - awful. Front desk said to turn knob off which we did. Had us get a fan. Box fan was filthy and barely helped. We got a second, also filthy. One stopped working. 3. Awful beds - no support in mattresses. 4. Marijuana smell up and down the halls. 5. Someone laying against building in back side lot - late at night. 6. Closed breakfast early by ten minutes and would not let us have it! Just terrible place.

Would not recommend at all

Had to wait over twenty minutes to checkin because nobody was at the counter and couldnt find anyone. Asked for towels for the kids to dry off at the pool, the person said there wasnt any left. The entire place is run down chipped floors, ceiling bowing all over the place, stains on the bed, stains on the lights. Room was about 76 degrees, tried to turn the air on and set it at 70 but only heat came on. Pillows were super low grade and bunchy. Room smelled of pot and was musty all at the same time. The only thing that was decent was the pool. It said it was remodeled late last year but they were half attempts at covering up the lack of upkeep. People were out in the "hangout" area and instead of letting people know they had to go to their rooms, they simply just shut the lights out on everyone.

Just ok is not ok

This hotel was just ok. The hotel is older and the room has had some recent updates and was clean but the pool area was tired looking and not inviting. There was no hot water in the room. It was lukewarm at best (both evening and morning). There was no thermostat control in my room, nor an exterior window and no fan in the bathroom, which made the air in the room feel thick. The walls are thin and one of the adjacent rooms had their tv blaring a good hour or more after I tried to go to sleep. Breakfast was decent. Unless I cannot find any other decent place to stay in the area, I wont be back.
