Disliked: Cleanliness
Font entrance had carpet sticking up, which a person could trip over it. The room was not cleaned very well.
It was a wonderful room, breakfast was absolutely great, the beds were comfortable. The pillows were pretty good, the employees were the only issue and they were still really sweet but their English was a challenge so asking for another wet/ laundry bag to put the wet swimsuits in. They kept offering us tissue boxes

We like staying at this property because of the price and location. This time, the toilet was plugged and no maintenance available to take care of it. They wanted to move us to a different room. We were able to get it all unplugged, but the floor was disgusting and they didn’t come in to clean it until the next afternoon. We never did get the bathroom garbage can back after we took all the wet towels in it to the desk that first night. We were not offered any other accommodations or discounts for the inconvenience. My partner enjoys the biscuits and gravy. Since I need to eat gluten free, there are not many options for me. But the coffee is good!
Paid for 1 night then discovered they wanted 50 deposit-paid it to spent night then paid for another night and they wanted another 50 deposit. Didn't have it and couldn't get refund for 2nd night
I liked that i felt safe at this location and the room very spacious. I didn’t like the customer service, the cleanliness, and the fact that there were dead roaches in my room. I didn’t get my room serviced once during my 4 day stay and I even had to take my own trash to the lobby so I could dispose of it.
