The room was old and moldy. The worst part was the cockroaches in the breakfast room crawling on the tables as we were trying to eat our food. We threw the food out and left and I still feel sick to my stomach! Never will we stay there again!

Started with check in. We booked a 2 Queen room, we received all double beds. Says the ran out. When I asked about it the manager mouthed off and said you can check out and get a refund. Knowing there wasn’t anymore options. We had a plugged toilet one of the rooms and I called down and he said you can come get a plunger. Had to shut the water off and when we did the water leaked from the shut off valve the whole time. No maintenance person. Our room had mutilple leak spots and when the rain started last night it started leaking again. Had to listen to it leaking and dripping on ceiling all night and morning. The ceiling in the hallway was torn out and left that way. Had items stolen from one of the vehicles while we were there. Comforter in multiple rooms had cigarette burns in them. The worst stay at a hotel without a question.

It was dirty. I had trouble finding staff when getting ready to check in. Had to leave and come back later. I was told checkout was 11:00. A little after 10, we took some stuff to the car. When we tried to get back into our room, our keys didn't work. Again, had trouble finding staff. I had to track someone down so we could get back in our room. The whole place seemed creepy.

Este es el peor lugar donde me he quedado , hicimos booking en el mismo día porque no fue un viaje planeado y fue lo que pudimos encontrar por $150 la noche, pero todo mal con la instalación , el cuarto muy sucio, pelos y manchas en la sábanas, el baño horrible de sucio , habían cucarachas y chinches apestosas en el cuarto , en el techo del cuarto había un agujero muy grande que les causaba miedo a los niños y para decir verdad hasta a mi me causó miedo , mi familia y yo no pudimos descansar nada por el miedo a los bichos y el mal también que había en el lugar y el desayuno muy malo todo , un galón de leche para que todo el mundo se sirviera , muy poco higiene para no decir nada . Y para hacer check out ni siquiera había una persona en front desk para poder poner tus quejas .
