Upon arriving at this property. We did not stay because of property conditions. I asked for a refund at the front desk (that we have not recieved). We left looking for cleaner, safer accommodation.

The bed was warm and there was plumbing and tv. Other than that the stay was mediocre. The small breakfast bar was not stocked in the morning with nothing but probably the previous morning's leftover half loaf of bread, cereal, 2 granola bars, and a quart of milk.

Avoid at all cost

I have no idea how this place had a 8.0 rating. This is 1 or 2. Carpets were filthy, some of the bedding was stained. Seriously, just burn the place down, it was that bad.

The place stinks, from the hall into the room. There was hair in the bathtub. The towels and bedding are worn out. The chairs have stains on them. I would not have stayed here but for the fact the ac in my camper did not work in the 105 degree heat. I did not sleep well and was out the door before 6 AM.

Check-in was a nightmare. Stood at desk for over 10 minutes waiting for someone to come to desk. Sign on counter said dial 0 on phone on counter, did twice, nothing. Door to back office area was open, young man finally came out dancing with ear buds in. When looking up my reservation he asked how much Expedia charged me, then said ok that’s what I’ll charge. Told him I’ve already paid & he wanted to see proof. Once I showed him (I should have never been asked) he just gave me a key, never had me fill out or sign anything. My reservation was for 2 queen room, which I confirmed with him. Got to room and it had one bed. Was put in another room. This young man had no clue what he was doing or didn’t care. The room and beds were surprisingly clean. Breakfast was a 1/2 loaf of bread & a partial stick of butter, container of cereal but no milk & an empty coffee pot but no cups even if it wasn’t. Not sure who owns/manages this place but they definitely need to do better.

The clerk walked out to us with no bra on, barefoot, not friendly, called because i forgot some items in the room, very rude, yelling unfriendly. When we went to the room, you push the fur and it opened rugby up. Bathroom dirty, shower slimey, horrible experience

This property was dirty from the front door to the room and within. Floors hadn’t been vacuumed in quite awhile. There were hairs and buggers in the bathroom. The air conditioner sounded like a jet plane and didn’t actually cool the room off until 3:00 in the morning. The room was sweltering hot. Would never recommend this place.

The hallway was very dirty. We walk into the room and there was a dirty washcloth on the bathroom counter. We pulled the sheets back on the bed, and there was a longer black hair on the sheet that you lay on. The continental breakfast consisted of a loaf of bread with a jar of peanut butter With a knife stuck in the jar. Also two containers with cereal. very unappealing.

Dirty and outdated.

The room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. The sheets looked dirty but it may be they were just stained. Where the air unit as I could see outside along the edge. The photos shown in the app for this property were clearly not of this property.
