The back of the property that was our patio off the room had overgrowth of grass, weeds, and a broken fence that went to the adjacent back lot of the other hotel which was littered with trash. It did not feel safe. As far as the room it was "quick cleaned" and the pool area needs work the water was cloudy and the back door was kept open .

Pay more to stay elsewhere.

This place really needs an update. The lamp in our room was broken, the shower was moldy, and the condition of the doors and locks were creepy. My kids had a hard time falling asleep because they said they were so scared. There were sounds all night long like construction vehicles coming and going.

This hotel was the worst we have stayed at in years, and we travel fairly frequently. The hotel had multiple spiders living in a dirty bathroom, broken lights/switches, a stained floor, and terrible odor. The only positive was that we didn’t get bedbugs.

The world's worst motel

This is a terrible facility. The ice machine on our floor didn't work. The water fountain in the lobby didn't work. The shower curtain rod in the bathroom was bent almost in a U shape. There was a pervasive smell of cleaning fluids. The bath towels weren't even long enough to wrap around you. Need I go on?

Mold and Mildew. Filthy room. The place stunk and my daughter and I woke up with sinus issues. I went and purchased bleach at 10:30 pm, and over 10 miles away, to pour on the black mold in the bathtub and when that did not help I pulled the filters out of the AC unit and they were caked in dirt and dust. I booked for 2 nights, stayed for the 1 night and they are refusing to refund me.

Lots of charm and character

Beautiful old, charming building in a great location! Expect all the delights, quirks, and character of staying in a building on the National Register of Historic Places. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was able to keep up with a 95 degree day. We really enjoyed our stay!
