The rooms were filthy. The floors were so dirty that the minute you walked on them, your feet were black. The showers had mold on the walls and very outdated. There were constant noises that kept us up at night. Every time you flushed the toilet, there would be a really loud noise. Beds super loud any time you moved around and bedding was stained.

I was initially pleased with this hotel based on the location (convenient, safe) and the size of the room (basically a small 1 bd apartment). As we settled in, however, I realized that it wasn’t very clean (floors were greasy, counter was sticky, walls visibly dirty). There were a few inconveniences as well, like the complete lack of anything that would have made the full kitchen useful. Not a single piece of silverware, plates, or anything to cook with. I had hoped to use the kitchen for some meals, but we couldn’t have even heated water. The shower had an adjustable head, but it was broken and dribbled half of the water coming out. Finally, there was a really cute little deck looking over a wooded creek, but the space was full of trash (not sure the hotel could do anything about that) and the light on the deck was REALLY bright and stayed on all night. The switch didn’t work, and the door to the deck was glass, so the light shone directly into my bed all night. The curtains were also broken and didn’t stay closed either. After the first night, I asked at the front desk if they could turn the light off. They seemed concerned that the switch didn’t work and said they’d take care of it, but It was still on when we returned late that night. Also, we also weren’t allowed to leave our bags behind the desk after checkout so we wouldn’t have to take them to go eat. All of that said, it was cheap and had clean sheets and towels.

The room was very accommodating for the size of my family. We had plenty of space. The bathroom was large and clean . The room had an old musky smell and everything seemed very old and outdated. The king size bed was not comfortable at all. The pillows were old . Blankets seemed like they hadn’t been washed or used in awhile. The fridge seemed very old and not working correctly. A piece of old frozen meat was in the freezer. Theirs plenty of closets and cabinet space . The balcony and view was amazing. The tv in my room didn’t work . Overall the price was good and the space was good . I’m not sure if I’d stay there again And the front seat woman wasn’t very hospitable or friendly but the man was.

Very dirty

The rooms were very, very dirty. If you walked on the floor barefoot you could feel Dirt on your feet. Water pressure was very poor in the shower. There wasn’t any soap or shampoo or conditioner available in the shower. The center nightstand between the beds was not clean you could see The marks from previous tenants where they put their drink on there. I started looking a little deeper and noticed dust everywhere and the alarm clock on the bedding, the baseboards, especially behind the beds. I even found mouse droppings. The photos they post up on their website are not accurate.

When we booked online, the pictures was totally different when we checked in. We remove the sheets to see if they’re clean, but there were a lot hair, stains, and the pillows were not clean and dirty with black spots. The property was very smaller than was described overall I will give zero for condition and two for the area. I would not recommend anyone to reserve this property.

Honest Review: I was grateful they let me check in hours early. I probably paid the price because the room I was in, had a broken bed and dirty carpet floors. The pillows had black stains on them and so did my bed sheets. I paid for two nights Thursday and Friday. Friday morning, the cleaning person walked in on me when I was asleep and also the property manager walked in on me a few hours later. No Knocking or warning at all. I ended up moving rooms due to the bed getting worse each time I laid down. I was offered to move rooms, but I did not want the hassle of moving rooms so at first, I said no then I decided to move. When I got to my next room it felt way cleaner until I went to the refrigerator, there was a drink from Dutch Bros which looked like it has been in there for days.

The first things we noticed walking into the room were the strong smell of bleach and the stained carpets. We had to open the windows and prop open the door to get some clean air inside. We finally closed everything up once the temperature began dropping, only to find that the heater did not work! It got into the 40's that night. Needless to say, we did not get a lot of sleep due to the cold temps inside the room. The room was very outdated and felt dirty. A new carpet would go a long way!

Don’t stay here, very disappointed!

Where to start, the room is extremely run down and old. I booked 2 rooms, 1 for me and 1 for my daughter and her family. We both had major issues. Floors were dirty, big hole on the side of the couch that I wouldn’t dare touch or allow anyone to sit on, 1 of the curtains were hanging off the window, the door to the patio is glass and your can see straight out of it meaning if someone was standing outside they would be able to see in. The 2nd bedroom didn’t have air conditioning nor heat, oh and no tv. My daughter’s room freezer didn’t work, and had a smell to it. There room wasn’t that clean either. Floors were dirty. You can tell they do the bare minimum while cleaning. I have a list of things I didn’t like but I’ll attach the pictures so show proof. In the living room/kitchen area only 1 light worked and the room stayed very dim
Freezer not working and smelled
Big hole on the side of the couch
Refrigerator dirty and stained
