2024-05-28 06:21:38I don’t normally write reviews but this stay was an abnormally bad experience for us.When we got to the room late on our first night we found all of our pillows were terrible. It felt like tennis balls in a pillowcase, the cotton had gotten balled up and was very hard.The next day we called to ask about pool hours because the website showed the hotel had a pool. The person at the front desk said “we didn’t have a pool.” We were able to find the pool later that day but it was padlocked shut, not sure if it’s just out of season (we went in late may) or they are getting rid of it.The next night we decided to call and ask for more pillows. The front desk told us “we are out of pillows.” Made me wonder if everyone had an issue with the pillows. We ended up going to target and buying pillows and pillowcases to get a good nights sleep.Besides those issues it was as expected for a room in the price range. Relatively clean but in need of repairs and touch ups in some areas, paint peeling, loose fixtures, dead light bulbs, etc.Overall I would not recommend the hotel due to the customer service and terrible pillows, although if you get lucky and get comfortable pillows or bring your own it would be somewhat reasonable for the price I suppose. Also be aware there is “no pool” as of late march 2024 if that is important to you.

2024-04-30 17:24:46As soon as my partner and I arrived we were greeted by a rude staff member at the front desk that did not seem happy to help. He was rude and tried to insist that I hadn’t already paid for the room even though it was already paid for. The room looked nothing like the picture and was worn down and had a lot of damage. The walls had dents and paint chips, there was a dead bug in the bathroom window and it overall just seemed unclean. There was dust over everything and mysterious stains throughout the room. The pool was closed which was unfortunate but I don’t even know if I would’ve gone in it anyways from the look of the place. Do not recommend staying here. Overall creepy vibes.

2024-06-03 20:17:38Just about the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had. We checked into two roomsthere for my father’s memorial service last weekend. In my sister’s room, the AC wasn’t working and neither was the TV. When she went down to the office to explain the situation, the hotel desk clerk was lying on the couch, watching TV on his phone and blocking the view of people coming in to see him with a chair. When she told him her situation, he said to her: “This is not a five star hotel if you don’t like it go someplace else.” We stay two nights in two rooms, and luckily, we’re out most of the day. It was never Service call made to her roomThere is poor signage at the hotel and it’s difficult to find rooms in this motel which traverse on three levels. Wandering around at night looking for my room was scaryDON’T STAY HERE!!!!!

2024-04-28 17:29:52Just stayed here! What a crazy experience. I get there and the man in the office says I now have to pay him a cash booking fee of $5. Yes, he asked for cash. He puts it in his pocket and opens his wallet and gives back $15. Really? I will be writing reviews everywhere. I will now need to cancel my credit card used because I feel this is a sketchy place.The kind suite had peeling wallpaper, and was pretty dirty/dusty. The strange craw space was a giant hole in the wall with screws over it and outlet covers that looked bad. Hire a professional.

2024-02-13 00:30:05So I booked this hotel for an upcoming wedding Im going to be attending in the area. I booked the executive suite for my brother and I. So just a couple of days before the wedding I had a few questions for the staff regarding if the room I booked had pots and pans so we can cook. I called the hotel and no one answered. So I called again and a man answered the phone, I proceeded with telling him I have an upcoming reservation Saturday February 17. He then says to call back that Saturday and hung up the phone. (How Rude) I ended up calling again, again and again with no answer from anyone. That immediately raised a red flag for me. So I eneded canceling my reservation and booking at another hotel. One I started reading the reviews I can honestly say I dodged a bullet with this one.

2024-03-25 22:52:31We booked two nights, when we arrived at the property two men tried to assist us; both of them were rude and refused to give us a receipt. They said that our booking company was going to provide it, which was a lie. When we open the room door, the odor was nasty; it smells old and humid. We decided to stay because we it was close to our destination, worst decision made!! The first night we realize how bad it was, the mattress very uncomfortable, the pillows are hard as a rock, the carpet was not vacuumed the next day and the only soap to wash our body was tiny. The towels are kept under the sink along with the plumbing.To make things worse, they charged us $15 dollars more per night, thats why they refused to give a receipt at the time we checked in. Please do not stay in this place if you want to have restful night. WORST PLACE EVER!!!

2023-11-17 01:01:52The WORST experience after a 14 hour workday checking in to this hotel!The second I walk in the door there’s no one else in line the “manager was eating lunch looks at me and says what do you want. And then I ask him what kind of customer of greeting is that he said the proper one. This place has a lot to learn about customer service! It’s very unfortunate because the location is perfect. Rooms are almost perfect and the price is definitely right but I will never say here again because I want to make sure the money I spend goes to people who deserve it!

2023-10-13 00:42:02*Guests Beware*This place is an absolute scam. I booked a long weekend from Friday to Monday. When I arrived Friday evening I entered the front desk building, I can hear workers in the back shouting back and fourth, they had obviously gotten an audible alert that someone had entered the front door. After about 5 minutes of them shouting back and fourth at each other, an individual came out and asked if I could be helped. I said that I was checking in and he asked for my name. After giving my name to the individual, they immediately said that there was no such name in the system, after I VISIBLY see my name on the screen. I then attempt to give them my booking confirmation email, to which they cut me off and say that the booking was cancelled. They gave zero reasoning as to why, and they had also refused to accept a confirmation number.After spending hours looking for available lodging else where I just settled on the fact that there must of been a mistake. The weekend ends and I see that my account has been charged for the full amount for the weekend stay. This is an obvious mistake I thought, after contacting the booking agency and the hotel they refused to accept that the hotel was canceled on their terms WITHOUT notifying me. They claimed that there was a double booking, to which one of the bookings had been automatically cancelled. However, there seems to be some holes in their claims. If there was a double booking then I would have received TWO confirmation numbers, I only ever received one. If there was two bookings, then my name wouldve shown in they system for at least one of the bookings. There was never any cancellation email, calls, or texts.This place will flat out lie to you, leave you without a room for the weekend, AND still charge you for the whole thing.Keep in mind when booking this if you were looking for the cheapest lodging option for the area, its not really the cheapest option if they scam you and you end up having to find last minute lodging else where anyways.Hotel manager, contact me and make this right, or pray that my credit card finds you as the fraud that you are so that I dont have to pull all my records of this fiasco together and take you to court.

2023-10-18 05:31:06Front desk staff needs to learn how to talk to people. Be able to answer questions without immediately offering you to leave. The rooms are dated. Needs to be updated. The shower had a smell coming out of the drain. The best thing about this place was quit at night. The bed was comfortable.
