Room had holes in the walls and bathroom. No breakfast. Price was high
The new owners have had this property for two months as of April 25, 2025 & they’re remodeling it. That’s nice but their rooms are not yet. Upon checking in, they informed me the pool & breakfast area are still under renovation so those aren’t available (they did say we could go to the Baymount next door for breakfast). So understandable. The first room was hot, stuffy, and smelled musty. Cobwebs were along the ceiling above the beds, paint scraped off the walls, and the air conditioner didn’t work. The second room had a large spot of water damage on the ceiling & mold growing in it. The water damage on the ceiling of the 3rd room was worse than the second. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice & gave me a full refund & we stayed somewhere else that night. It has potential, but right now is not a good place to stay.
The room was in poor shape with holes punched in the walls and broken furniture The staff was rude and the entire hotel was filthy. I would not let my dog stay here. Gross!!

Not worth the stay even at half the cost.
Kitchen and pool were closed for remodeling, so no breakfast, and hotel refused discount.
Room was what I would expect from a 3 star hotel. Clean, but run down. Very thin sheets and towels. Non-smoking room smelled of cigarette smoke and cleaning agent.
Several customers parked in parking lot and playing loud music - hotel did nothing.
Front desk person very nice. That the bice part. Hotel is dirty, holes in drapes and walls. Mattress was nasty and the vents on heater and bathroom so dirty I hated to turn on.
I stayed before my shift at the local hospital, and was able to check in early in order to make it to my shift on time. The front desk person was very helpful and did not charge me an extra fee! Will be rebooking again before my next shift
!
They didn’t have the correct room ready. We tried multiple other rooms, but none had what we needed. Staff member was helpful but not trained well. No breakfast available. Pool unavailable. Rooms and lobby all had strong smells

Disappointed

We read some of the reviews and we did not have the same experience. Our room was clean and the breakfast was great. I had Belgium waffles and my husband had biscuits and gravy. Did hear one person complaining about the cleanliness of their room.
The room was ok, breakfast was a joke, coffee was cold, no bannas, no eggs, waffle, no syrup, cancled early, cant get a refund from hotel.com, says no refund. Won't go back.

People often leave reviews when things are all bad. But I will do one for them being amazing. My family and I was stuck here until our house was ready and being new to this state we were upset about it. From the moment we walked into the doors until the moment we left everyone on the staff went above and beyond and I do mean everyone! The housekeeping lady who was so sweet. The property managers everyone was kind. Even the other people at the hotel. We felt welcome and comfortable and I just wanted to tell all of the people at this establishment that your staff is AMAZING!

Not an awful stay overall, but we noticed trash in our room when we entered as well as a few dirty or non-functional appliances. Litter containers outside of the doors for cigarettes is not the best look. Investing in actual products for cigarettes would be a worthy investment. The staff shall also ensure that the entirety of the room is clean. Unsure of the staffing levels but a revamped staff or management to better increase morale could additionally be a good investment.
