I wrote a whole Facebook post about how nasty and unsafe it is. I’ve also requested a full refund. Problems included old food and filth in the kitchen area and a non-resident with a machete let himself in through the unsecured second floor back entrance and relaxed in the furniture that is next to the vending machine.

Check in process took 35 minutes due to key not working. A few hours later, we received a call- could not hear through the phone very well- the front desk was calling to check our names and room number. We were told we couldn't walk to room from front door, but had to park by side door. Building and business is obviously being worked on.

This hotal stank of incense everywhere. There was no hot water in the mornings to shower with. There was mold and hair all over the shower walls. The counter & sink were dirty and covered in hair. The shower curtain was stained. The bedding only has a sheet and bed cover. No large comforter or blanket. This has to be one of the worst hotels i have ever stayed in.

The rooms are good size and have needed items. The hotel smelled heavy of smoke even though no smoking is allowed. Possibly caused by fire In The kitchen. Breakfast not eatable. But McDonald’s is next door. They don’t clean the rooms during your stay tge price was reasonable

Worst stay ever!!!

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. At 11pm I was awoken by someone hammering nails.below my room. When I complained the front desk said they heard it as well but wasn't sure what was going on. Mo Miraculously it stopped. Midnight several dogs barking. 530 the same. I would have been better off sleeping in my truck

Tried to contact to front desk. No one could be found. Prior to calling for a late check in the person who answered didn’t sound confident about a late check in. I called from the room that was given to ask why we didn’t have any hot water and no one picked up the phone. I walked down to the desk and no one was present. Door peep hole was covered with a napkin and tape. The smoke detector was coming off the wall and there was a dry wall area that was not painted.

There were bugs, alive and dead, all over the room. Our room key wouldn’t work and front desk had to come let us in each time we needed to get in. The outside door was always open and not secured at any time. The staff was nice, but the property lacks anything to be desired.. needs updating and cleaning at a minimum.

The room we stayed in had a king bed. The bed was nice and comfortable. Sheets were clean and the room smelled clean. The facilities older and shower was very slow to drain. Price was right though and its next to a grocery store and McDonald's. Easy drive to the caves also.

Good place to rest

The rooms are recently updated and the beds are fantastic. However, the sign said breakfast at 630. This is the second time i have stayed and had to buy my breakfast because it wasn't even started.
