Never again

Nothing like the pics on hotels.com. First time I used the deadbolt on a hotel door because I didn't feel safe. The hull was filled with hiphop music from a room at the end of the hull. The carpet was covered in stains. The walls had holes, including a bullet hole. I learned to alway look at the rating of a hotel before booking a room.

This property was so offensive that we didn’t even stay. The smell of cigarettes was absolutely disgusting! All amenities were marked out of order. The entire campus was dirty and unkempt. I’ve never been in such a disgusting hotel! I didn’t even ask for a refund. We just left the keys and got out of there. 100% WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Could not stay was a wast of money. The lobby was decent. The halls to the room were hazy with cigarette smoke, the room reaked of cigarette smoke, hole in the wall, very unclean, holes in the bathtub, only one door worked other than the main loby, did not feel safe at all. The parking lot had piles of old tree branches everywhere. Definitely do not stay here, very unsafe and disgusting.

Dirty, smelly, not worth the cheap price

The room smelled of old cigarette smoke, with visible residue on the floor and walls. The faucet in the shower was leaking the whole time we stayed, but we left an hour after we arrived because the state of this hotel was so disgusting. If you can help it, go somewhere else.

The property it’s self isn’t bad just has not been well upkeep in the past few weeks it’s now under new ownership and the new owners have been VERY busy cleaning the whole property up the outside grounds have been cleaned up and now the rooms are being cleaned and fixing broken amenities I believe in a short time this hotel will be running much better and the only issue here will be the type of residents and guests that have been using it
