Won’t be back…

At check-in, the clerk was extremely rude. She clearly hates her job and hates people. She didn’t tell me about the deposit when she gave me the total. When I questioned her why I was charged $75 more, she got mad at me and was very difficult. When we got to our to our room, it had a very weird smell, there was hair in the bathroom and the beds were awful. During the night we were awakened all night by a drip. Long story short, the drip was the ac and the weird smell was mold. The clerk this time was super accommodating and we changed rooms. No hair and no smell in the next room.

The bathroom needed remodel, not an attempted fix that was obvious. Mismatched paint. Rusty furniture. Obvious cover up instead of a proper repair.

Good for one night

The check-in process was very quick, and the staff was very friendly. The lobby and breakfast areas appeared newly renovated and were very clean. The third floor has some wear and tear, but overall it looked fine. We booked for 4 guests, but we only received 3 towels. The deadbolt would not lock. The up bottons on the remote for sound and channels did not work. The beds were so soft that when I lie down, my feet were a good 2 inches higher than my head. It was very uncomfortable. The breakfast was very good and the staff was super friendly. However, there were no pancakes because they had no batter. For our purpose of staying one night on our way to Florida, this hotel was good. It is close to many restaurants and stores. The area seemed safe.

1st "STAY AWAY" This hotel is the worst we have stayed. Unclean, unclean unclean. Checkin wasnt ready for us to see the room. Fine came back at 3pm. Got into the room and crawling up the wall was a small spider we thought. But got close it was a ROACH. We checked to room out then here comes another one across the floor. Same time one crawls across the pillow while our neice is on the bed. We went to tell the manager. And her attitude was OHHH WELL it happens. Then she thought I was someone else. To have more attitude. When she realized I wasnt who she thought I was she didnt even apologize for her rudeness. Just said here is another room bring the key to the other room when your moved. Breakfast was very simple and non tasteful. Drinks are very watered down. The next room wouldn't get cooler and we already paid thru a third party whom we are working with on credit or refund. So dont waste your time its better to stay some where else. We will be posting the full video onnour YouTube and TikTok travel page KING AND QUEEN GETAWAYS!
