Excellent front desk service. The man checking me in was very nice and friendly. The room was clean but could use a little updating. Everything was good except the bed. Definitely could use a new mattress.

First, the extremely nice lady working the front desk was great. Polite, thorough and quick. Then we went to our rooms on the second floor, the entire hallway smelt like a dirty ashtray, the rooms (we had two) smelt worse (these were supposed to be non smoking rooms). One room had what appeared to be coffee spilt/thrown all over the bathroom door, it was still somewhat wet from the prior person in the room? Hair in the bathtub, no way it was even rinced from the prior renter. Will absolutey never go back to this hotel.

I am not one to leave distasteful reviews but this place was absolutely disgusting. Dirt layered everywhere. Nothing about this place was welcoming or clean. It had an awful smell all throughout the place including inside the room. The room had such poor ventilation that it felt damp and sticky. Everything was rusted and the bathroom was filled with mildew. The air vent was filthy. I cleaned it myself and got a load of dust off of it. The vestibule going to the outside doors and to the second floor smelled of sewage and had dead bugs all throughout. There was not one good thing about it. I would never recommend to anyone.
The dust that came off of the air vent.

Our room was for sure clean!!! I checked in at 2pm (got the keys to the room) and actually went into the room at 11 pm… it still smelled very “clean”. The cleaner smell was a bit over powering… we had to leave the door open to the hallway for about a half an hour to be able to breathe in there. I’m not sure if it was a type of air freshener or what… but I will be making sure that my next stay anywhere is like that. We both have breathing issues and it was a problem for us. Honestly- without MY breathing issues… it was nice for the room to not smell like a stale hotel room…

I like the privacy. I didn’t think the front desk was friendly at all. After I checked out waiting for my family and I ride they called the police and said they wanted us trespassed, and they told the police they trespassed us a few days before that, but that’s not true. We paid almost 1,200 to stay there for 10 days and the day we checked out they called and lied to the police. Do not ever stay at this hotel one side of the building near entrance B looks like it’s falling apart.

Check in was a pain!! Room smells very dusty, wet, musty. A/C specifically on the top left is full of clumps of dust! Entrance with key through side doors is unaccessible! I went out to smoke a cigarette late at night and see an SUV backed into a wooded area on the property but not. I booked on Expedia originally when I went to check in I'm told no cash, I get there maybe around 1am and told I still have to check out at 11am! Front desk says I can't use my Expedia check in because my boyfriend was paying with his card instead! Just to get a room he said I couldn't check in till the next day!? Acted as if he was helping me out by getting me in. For the price alone it's not worth it!!
