Horrible

I walked in my room the first day the smell was horrible. I had to buy candles, bleach,air fresheners and other stuff to clean my room and bathroom. The bed was horrible. I got there on Friday the first and online the place looks hella different.time Tuesday morning comes no one had came to clean my room brought fresh linens luckily I had my own towels etc. My garbage was pulling up then Tuesday night I started seeing roaches underneath my bed, behind the tv, the bathroom, the A/C unit. I packed my things up and left Wednesday morning. I went down to the front desk told them I was leaving and the lady at the desk wouldn’t give me my refund on the days I was gonna be there and for the money I spent on my room from the first -the 9th I couldn’t stay in that room any longer especially when I found those roaches. No sure what was going on there however I started getting sick while I was there. Major headaches, staying sick to my stomach, throwing up, something in that room and hotel. Then all the people that were in the rooms next to me. One room had I swear 20 people in one room when I had asked a lady for a lighter to light my candles there was almost 20 people coming out of one room then the room next to me people were so nasty so no wonder there was roaches.

We didnt even stay. We walked in the room and walked out and got another hotel. The rooms reaked of weed and had bugs crawling on the floor as we opened the door. The lady at the desk was nice and even offered us to check out the room before staying. I said no because i trusted it. But we definitely should have checked it before paying.

Very unfriendly staff, dirty worn out rooms. The flooring was coming up, the paint was chipping, the sink was clogged. 25 year old CRT tv so couldn’t hook anything up to it, WiFi didn’t work inside the room, the pool was closed and had been closed so long the locks closing it off were rusted. Cheap motel so my expectations were low but this place is a dump.

Property was awful, front was ok, where our roo. Was around the back was crack head central looked at our room, first of all the beds where destroyed, sheets thrown everywhere no blankets and dope baggies in the drawers along with trash, second room there was a huge hole in the bed and once again gross, you could smell the fumes of old food reeking from the non working fridge. Not to mention when walking to our second room there was a man sitting outside on the steps openly watching pornography doing his business right there for everyone to see and I had my freaking kids with me. Like really. We grabbed our stuff went back to the front and handed in all of our stuff and told them it was completely unexeptable and then called the cops as we left and told them the conditions we found all with the man with indecent exposure to my 2 you g boys. Absolutely horrible..I not only filed a report about what happened at the property but also reported them for the state of the property and all the code violations! Don't wanna give me my refund back..well have fun making money when your shut down.

The customer service rep was rude and on the phone the entire time. She interrupted me multiple times, then showed her phone with her manager on it? There were bugs and stained paper signs all over the glass stating more fees. I do not recommend this place. The people behind me said they tried to get a refund too and were denied. Gross and unsafe.
