Breakfast closes at 8:30. And they didn’t tell me what the hours were when I checked in and when I did get coffee early, there was very little set out for breakfast. The room was fine. Front desk wasn’t friendly.

You all need to get a grip on the moldy atmosphere in your entire complex, rooms, main halls. Don't like coming out of your facility the next day, coughing up luggies the size of golf balls. Get it right, if the room is going to be occupied the particular day, turn on the A/C. This BS of letting a room or your facility get HUMID and MOLDY is unacceptable. You won't see us there again EVER

The rooms were not clean. Somebody had taken a crap in the room and left it before we even got in there. There were roaches in our room. It stunk most of the staff was rude. We asked to switch rooms because of the roaches and the lady at the front desk couldn’t have been any Router, but on a positive note the lady serving the breakfast in the morning was very nice.

This property - though listed as 'budget', ought to orovide basic services in the hospitality industry. Namely: cleanliness, front desk assistance (its not self-check in). I waited 10 minutes for someone ro attend the front desk after having to use my phone & call a random # that was on a scrap piece of paper at the front desk. It took a regular amount of time to check in (appreciate that). Room was DIRTY. Floor NOT vacuumed, sink had water & hairs on the tray with soaps, cushions of sofa had crumbs & stains. After driving 14 hrs, wanted to use the bathroom & go to sleep. No toilet paper. Call the front desk from room - nothing. Call using the # from before - the lady huffs and says someone will bring me some. I waited 5 minutes in my room - nobody. A guy walks into the lobby, i ask him - he says he'll be with me in a minute but proceeds to deal with a guests dispute of some issue and i stand there for another 8 minutes. He hands me the toilet paper saying he was going to get to it. There were random guys outside the room fixing a vehicle - banging tools etc. I called asking, via voicemail, that they move the guys or move me - never heard back. There were guys walking up & down the hallway with phones on speaker, in tank tops & underwear. Would NEVER recommend.
