This place was pretty gross. The walkways had trash and cigarette butts in various places. The rooms had faux wood floors that look nice in pictures, but nasty in person. The walls were dirty and scratched. The pool that looks so nice online wasn't that great. The people are the front were friendly. I hope I get my $100 deposit back and can't imagine what it was needed for. Wouldn't return there.

Not for children

Not for children at all. There were people walking around drinking some drunk. The bar was loud. The whole place smelled of marijuana. Our door didn't want to shut , when you did get it to shut then you had to work at getting it open. We didn't even stay after seeing all that and that was within 15 minutes tops

I thought I’d love this place. They spent a lot of money on the lobby. The rooms are old. The manager Debra doesn’t care about guests. I woke up to my room being flooded. Got no compensation. The night person Shanice I think was a horrible person. I needed help and she screamed at me go back to your room! They’ve had quite a lot of complaints about her, and keep her!!??

Very unhyngenic place

Very dirty, not all maintained the premesis. Bugs everywhere crawling. Continental breakfast was miserable. There is nothing to eat. Very limited and restricted. No hot water for drinking. As soon as you enter, look wise very attractive. If you walk out of the reception, every thing is dirty

Overall I think it was a decent hotel for only being in town on business for two days and the price- beds were nice, spacious room but I will say the shower not having hot water, was a bit rough. Bathroom could’ve had an update and maybe a tune up here and there but overall it was okay. A good stay for a night or two but definitely not much longer.

Seriously Disappointed: A Warning to Fellow Travel

Seriously Disappointed: I feel compelled to share my extremely disappointing experience. While I appreciate the front desk staff's efforts, they were clearly overworked and the hotel's condition was unacceptable. My stay began badly. Upon arrival, the TV and phone in my assigned room were non-functional, and the toilet barely flushed. After a late-night room change, facilitated by the apologetic desk staff, I discovered the TV in the second room also didn't work, with a vague explanation that the cable "goes out." More concerning was the cleanliness. The room was visibly dirty, with dirt and hair found on the sheets. A late-night bathroom visit revealed a significant roach infestation. While I understand this is a budget hotel, basic cleanliness and pest control should be non-negotiable. Furthermore, the advertised "continental breakfast" was a complete misrepresentation. I specifically confirmed the breakfast offerings before booking and was told it included cereal, breakfast bars, fruit, yogurt, etc. At 8:30 AM, only milk, juice, and fruit were available. Ultimately, we slept fully clothed on top of the questionable sheets. This was, without exaggeration, one of the most unpleasant hotel experiences I've ever had. I strongly advise potential guests to consider other options. Management needs to address these serious issues immediately.

Pool was great! Beautiful waterfall, plenty of comfortable seating and shade. Our room smelt like a musty basement. Had to buy an air freshener. Our remote didn’t work but maintenance came and switched tvs and everything was fine. The location was awesome. Next to everything u need without a car. Walking distance to McDonald’s, Walgreens, chick-fil- A, and crane roost park. Overall a great wknd.

Will not return.

There were roaches in the bathroom and bed area. Prostitution in the parking lot. Rusty lamp in the bedroom area, and terrible caulking and rust in the bathroom, and something splattered on the ceiling, couldn’t tell if it was rusty water dripping from the roof or if was actually something on the ceiling, but it was mushy looking and really brown. Multiple other guests were smoking pot outside and walking past a few of the rooms you could smell it very strongly. The woman at the front seat, while friendly, was very unprofessional. I will not be returning to this facility again.
