Never ate there breakfast. Never stayed the night. Checked in at 3 pm 10/18/25 there was several men just hanging out in the parking lot, didn't feel it was a safe enviroment. Was actually there maybe 10 minutes and left to go get dinner, was gone about 2 hours and when we returned all the same men still hanging out in parking lot. TV didn't work in room, the pillows on the bed appeared dirty/at the least pillow cases and sheets stained. Went back outside to get the rest of our belongings and could of gotten high off the smell of marajuina, very overwhelming. At that point we didn't feel safe on property between the men in the parking lot and the drugs. So my husband went in an told the gentleman working the desk we was leaving and ask if they could at least refund the second night stay being we was suppose to be there 2 nights, but didn't actually stay one night. Gentleman at desk said he would have to report the request to his manager and would let him know we checked out at 7:15 pm 10/18/2025 the same day we checked in. So far the charge for both nights is still on my card no refund. I just want to be sure other families are aware and don't make the same mistake we did. I'm in the process of contacting whoever i need to in order to report the very poor condition of this hotel.

Not recommend

I did not enjoy my stay here the front desk lady was rude, Because when I first arrived it was 3:30 nobody was at the front desk so I called and messaged in the app no response I waited 30mins, Then when I found her and explained it too her she told me no I wasn't I responded with I arrived at 3:30 and it is now 3:57, I also had a weeding rehearsal to attend to that day in which I was late for, once I checked in my room the sheets had stains on them so I laid on the top sheet with my covers, the heat wouldn't stay on constantly, The fridge wouldn't hold temperature my food was spoiled, The walls and ceilings had stains on them as well, I do not recommend

As soon as I walked in the room I reserved I seen it was not clean. The walls were dirty I looked at the bed and the comforter was stained dirty and every single sheet on the bed had spots of stains. I immediately called the lady in the front and after I told her about the sheets being stained she kept repeating herself saying the bed is made the bed is made and she even hung up on me. I paid for a room I could not even stay in and the lady in the front who was there when I checked in and when I gave the key back said she was the manager. When you look on the wall to the left of the office it has a satisfaction promise that they will make it right if things are not satisfactory and they absolutely do not give that standard. They do not care and the price is not fair for what you get!
