We went to check in at 4pm and our room wasn't ready. So we had to wait. They were dog friendly which was great. Expedia doesn't do much with communicating this need, which needs work, but glad they allowed us to have our best friend with us. The bathtub was clogged and filthy. After I cleaned it, it finally drained. Overall it's a good place, but does need some deep cleaning.

The room smelled musty, the paint was peeling, the hot water didn’t get hot, the stair into the pool was broken, they only had one person on staff, who was not always there, the sauna didn’t work, they advertised a continental breakfast, which didn’t exist, and the hairdryer didn’t work. It was an expensive mistake.

The front desk was dusty, lobby bathroom gross, the sink didnt work to wash my hands. The manager was rude, i checked in at 1pm and was told i would need to wait until 6pm to get into my room. I asked to speak to her manager and she refused to give my managements contact information and said it was Expedias issue. Another person staying there came out and chexked with the cleaning staff to see if my room was done and it had been for a while. Manager was so rude, several guests told me how awful their experience was. I will NEVER return and I am going to write about this on my nlg and litterly tell everyone. We waited 5 hours to check in 2 past the check in time. HORRIBLE

Price was good. The property isn’t great but you get what you pay for. All wanted was AC and ESPN. Bed was good. AC worked perfect. For 90 bucks it was a steal in my opinion.

The check out was so utterly terrible I would sleep in the back of my pickup before ever staying at this place and I say place because the way I was treated by the check out person (when he finally showed up), would not be acceptable at ANY establishment that actually wants your business.

It appeared to be a property in transition. There were paint spots all over doors, decking, etc. Under staffed as they were still cleaning rooms at 8 PM as people were trying to check in. It was the most reasonable priced property in the area
