Room decor was dated and appeared used and was loose and unsteady. The facility is older and curbs and stairs are inconvenent at best and dangerous at worst for anyone who has problems walking or other handicaps.

Property was quiet. clean, nice pool and good cleaning staff. Room was generally clean although there were several roaches in the room. Stayed three nights. TV and wi fi was marginal at best. So if that is important look elsewhere AC was good, water pressure in shower was very good. Towels were useless bring your own, we immediately went to Walmart and bought some towels. Also bring some hand soap or soap for the shower. Staff will not answer the phone because they have the ringer turned off. Caught them doing this twice, also never answered my text. Otherwise good value if you’re looking for a budget hotel. Guess you get what you pay for
