Lipstick on a pig that couldn't be sold at auction
The place is under new ownership and the remodel was very poorly done. Towel racks are coming out of the wall because they were not installed properly. Shower curtain rod is coming out of the wall because it was not installed properly. Toilet is not installed properly and has pieces of cardboard shoved in different places to attempt to level it. It still rocks. The faucet leaks. The shower spigot leaks. The shower doesn't drain properly. This place has potential. You can tell the new owner without proper skills attempted to DIY the repairs to attempt to save money. Sad!

Ok for one night
Room was ok, bed was fine. Hallway had an odd odor, older hotel. For a one night stay, is fine. Would not stay if longer.
The check-in and out process was simple and efficient. The carpet in the hallway was filthy. One of the lights on the bedside table flickered when I tried to turn it on. There were pieces of folded cardboard supporting the toilet. The shower/tub creaked as I stood in it. The bedspread and sheets were stained and did not smell fresh. People in the hallway slamming doors at 2:30 and 3:30 a.m. and talking. Breakfast appeared to be good, but I had planned to eat elsewhere with friends. Did not use coffee maker. TV worked fine. AC worked fine. I used iron and hair dryer, both fine. Fridge worked fine. Newer chair and ottoman. I'm so sorry to be critical, but I don't know how else to alert the company to needed improvements.

One light did not work looked like a short. Reported it to the front desk. They stated they would look in to it, but did not while we were there. The room could have been cleaner.
It is what it is, an older budget property. it wasn't the cleanest, the vending was broken down, the breakfast was pathetic. room had a small tv and needed maintenance. Bed was uncomfortable.
What a dump! Dirty carpets & furniture! Smells like smoke! The pool was being resurfaced & out of service. In the back entrance were chairs & mattresses all pilled up presumably to be taken to the dump! Mattress pads were dirty & pillow smelled!

Need to take out the trash more in the rooms and clean more often
You advertised a pool so i booked 2 nights with 3 little girls who wanted to swim. We got all dressed in swimsuits and got to pool to find it empty and with boxes in it. No signs anywhere and was never told. I WOULD NOT OF STAYED IF I WAS TOLD THIS.
