The staff was NOT friendly at all. After staying there on and off for months they wanted to start charging me a pet fee of $22.50 a day for my dog which Id had with me the entire time! it was only when a certain employee worked that I was being harassed and treated differently and unfairly. and not to mention the surroundings arent pleasant either. And they started charging more for the pool and never even opened it

I was stranded due to weather, and had to wait till next day for my flight. Due to two other events going on in the area, most hotels were booked (or $600+). Found this hotel about 20 min from airport. The room was clean. The first room offered was occupied. In the next room offered, the A/C unit was disassembled in the room. This was the last room available that was non-smoking. I was told by the attendant that there was a smoking room available but it was known to have roaches. The attendant did try calling to the hotels next door to see if there was availability, but everything was booked. With no other hotels in the area available I stayed in the room with no A/C for the night. Thankfully I had added travel insurance to this stay, which I would recommend. You may have a great experience, I just had a lot of things working against me this one night.

Checked in this property on Saturday afternoon went to room air condition did not work. Room was filthy. Smells bad floor gives away as you walked on it door have been broken into in the past no safety lock on it smoke alarm missing could stick your hand between the wall and the air conditioning unit and could also stick your hand underneath the door. This place deserves to be tore down. It is a total waste of money, homeless people all around the property prostitutes in the parking lot this is ridiculous.I really think I should be reimbursed for this stay try to get my money back, but was told that it was an Expedia booking and they did not refund very very disappointed. After not being able to get a refund was issued two more rooms. Those rooms were not much better. TV did not work smoke alarms missing cracks under the door. Same cracks around the air conditioning units like I said this whole facility needs to be bulldozed.

The place obviously had Tropical Storm Helene damage, but that was no excuse for the horrid appearance, weird people roaming around, and the filth. The website looked very good, but the place was a disgrace. I refused to stay there. They said I would cancel the reservation. I hope they follow through. Expedia should be more careful. I would like an explanation from them.
