Nasty

One word to describe this hotel, unclean. There was only one towel in the hotel room, asked for more, received a singular towel that had a suspicious red stain. We found a long hair found in the bathroom and the hallway smells like piss. I would rather sleep outside next time. If you hate someone, tell em to sleep here.

Zero stars

We arrived at 11:10 from NC. (Almost 13 hours driving) My nephew and I went in, checked in (second door was locked to get into lobby, just figured because it was late) the next day I realized we only had 1 towels, no washcloths. I asked for them and was only given a single towel. We ended up buying washcloths to bathe. Front desk gentleman refused to give more after housekeeping took out only 2 towels and didn't replace them. Shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Ended up having to go to a friend's to shower. they wouldn't change my room. Desk attendant fussed at me for asking for more than a single towel for 2 people. Left a day early and came home. Unfortunately they took our money so I couldn't get another room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Told the rooms on the second floor are cleaner and for the ‘good customers’. If this is cleaner I can’t imagine how horrible the first floor must be. The room smells. They handed me a spray air freshener which masks the stink for about 5 minutes. The positives: I think the sheets were clean and the air conditioner worked. The lower price was not worth it.
