There were bare wires sticking out from the wall in our room. The mattresses were so old and worn out that you could see the wear patterns in them. All of the bedding had stains on it. The pillows were cheap and old and were more like towels than pillows. The pool was out of order. The ice machine was out of order, the coffee machine was out of order. There was not staff at the front desk at all at check out and no one came. I waited for a few minutes, called out several times and ended up just leaving the keys there. I didn't get a receipt and have no idea if they released the hold on my credit card. At check in, they advised not to park near the hotel because because some contractors had been getting paint on customers cars. Back to the room, the carpets were stained, the toilet was dirty and we showered with our flip flops on because of the stains and mold in the shower. Don't waste your time or money with this place. One of the worst places I've ever stayed at.

Greeted by the smell of pot, body odor, and cigarettes. Staff struggled to find a clean room to put me in and lacked social skills. Advertised amenities not functional, such as TV, hot tub, or morning coffee. Loud guests in the hall until 11 pm and thin walls.
Linens appeared clean but the bed was not properly made. The bathroom was gross.
Toilet and shower not clean. Noisy, smelly AC unit. I didn't want to touch anything!

Worst place I've ever stayed

The whole place smelled like cigarettes, the fire extinguisher mount was empty and used as an ashtray. There was trash and food completely covering the floor under the bed, cigarette or mold stains on the sheets, used towels in the bathrooms, and light switches falling off the walls.

Yuck. Avoid.

My room smelled like recent smoking and the screen was missing. I asked for a new room. This one was even worse. The smoke alarm had been disabled with a plastic bag. It was also unplugged and missing a battery. The screen was missing. One of the two beds was broken and nearly dumped me on the floor when I sat on it. The room had not been cleaned, dirty toilet and sink, and used sheets. They fixed the smoke alarm and cleaned the room. I was by myself so the one broken bed was not a problem for me. Hopefully, they fixed it after I left. The new sheets and towels seemed freshly washed. Hopefully, they were. Long wait at the front desk.
