The room locks do not work then I get a next room. The room was dirty. The sheet was dirty. The towel as hair all over it . The bathroom toilet was leaking water. It’s very bad terrible . then when I try to check out the lady did not want to give me my deposit back so I have to call Expedia to dispute my deposit back to my card. I could not stay there. It was terrible. So guys please don’t stay here. My baby was itching so bad from their sheet on the bed and I was itching as well. When I asked the lady to give me my money to my card. They tell me it’s no refundable. It’s not good there. The experience was not good. My original stay was for 4 night and I only spent two night because they did not want to give me back my refund to my card so I could book an next hotel so what I did I can Expedia and Expedia ask them kindly to give me back my money and colleague for the two night that I spent there and the only reason why I spent tonight is because They did not wanna give me back my money so do not stay here .

Uggggh

The first room still had dirty clothes, underwear and socks in the bathroom, The 2nd room smelled like dog and bleach and there was no trash can or soap in the room! The breakfast they display on the site is nothing like the slim selection offered on the front lobby! And to add there was a big palmetto bug in the middle of the floor that the front desk lady looked at and walked right passed Also there are people that live there

Run as fast as you can!

I was very disappointed in this hotel after seeing the many reviews on this place I had addressed my concerns with hotel .com and hotel.com spoke to the hotel but I still had cockroaches running in the bathroom and my bed. With my daughter.when I spoke to manager about she send the housekeeper. I told her that it was nothing she could do hey need an exterminator to spray. I checked out and went to another hotel. I came for a happy time and this was a nightmare with this hotel!

I booked a room here last minute, the photos looked like a decent hotel. The room was absolutely filthy. There was a hole in the bathroom wall that I could see into the ceiling through. I do not think this room has been cleaned not only for me but after multiple stays of other people, there were splatters all over the walls and doors. I got out of the shower and there was a cockroach crawling down the wall. Even if staying at a budget hotel, there should be a level of expected cleanliness. Someone tried opening my door around 1am. The curtains were covered in stains. It was missing furniture, and lamps. The shower curtain and towels were stained. I’m pretty sure the sheets were not fresh either. This is not a “3 star” hotel and I have no idea how they more than a 0 for reviews. This place is a health code violation, I have photos of everything and look forward to hearing back from you.

The beds and pillows were comfortable. The room had dog food pieces on the floor. The curtains had stains on them, the bed cover had burn holes in it. There were only 2 towels, 1 wash rag, and 1 hand towel in a 2 queen bed room. there was 1/2 roll of toilet paper when we arrived. We asked to get more towels and they said they didn't have any. The pool was shut down by the health department.

Horrible stay! In 50 years, ive stayed at many places, but never once til now did i truly want my money back. Staff was ridiculous. Had to wait 2 hrs to check in. Then the room they gave us was not cleaned. It had food and trash everywhere and all bed linens in a ball on the floor. Tried to call the desk and phone dont work. Walked back down stairs and informed desk. They didnt believe me. Then gave me another room 2 buildings away (3 building property). I refused, as i just carried all our luggage up the stairs and demanded a room near the first one. They gave me one below it then. This room smelled horrible, sheets were stained, wall had blood stains, blanket had cig burns. Wife brushed her teeth and it took literally 6 hrs for the water to drain down the sink. When we showered we stood in ankle deep dirty water. Went in the office for the advertised breakfast. They had nothing and the desk woman was fighting with a vagrant to leave. The vagrant was hungry. We coukdnt wait to leave. Expedia needs to refund us for this joke of a stay.

This was reasonably priced and all we needed for an overnight stay. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. To make this a 4 or 5 star would only take 2 investments. 1.) Exterior and interior doors need painting as paint was peeling off both doors. 2.) Better quality towels.
