They are in the process of renovating old, neglected property. Our room was clean. However, the breakfast was skimpy to nonexistent, the TV had no cable service to it, and the pools (inside and outside) were out of service. I would not recommend staying here until the renovations are completed. The staff is very nice though and apologetic of the conditions.

Driving in there was weeds and trash in all the areas! Our rooms air wasn't sufficient, TV didn't work, ice maker broken and the advertised bar was not open. In general, we had to leave because of the horrific conditions! This hotel shouldn't be advertised until it is remodeled.

Just do not go there. Massive facility issues including a/c not working, room keys also didnt work. Not enough staff/cheap prices = chaos. We stayed an hour before leaving. When attempting to get a refund an impromptu fist fight broke out in the lobby. Just dont go. The whole area is sketchy....

The place was dirty, bags of garbage in the hallways that had not been picked up in 2+ days. The room smelled like mold and there were pieces of mold being blown from the AC unit. The shower didn’t look like it had been cleaned, so I ended up buying my own cleaning supplies to clean the room. Things were so bad, I ended up checking out a day early. Don’t let the pics fool you; this place is a dump, seriously.

This hotel was very out dated. Horrible customer service. I had to ask for towels over and over and never received them. Her response was they don’t have enough staff. It was molded. Construction was going on in the middle of the hallways, The Pool area was dirty. I had to ask them to clean it. It’s felt like something out of American horror story!! Staff was not helpful at all. This place needs to be shut down immediately.

The hotel is very secluded, and the map is inaccurate... but just keep going down the road. They're "under construction" but it is still very well maintained and there wasn't any noticeable noise.

You get what you pay for and I think we paid too much for what we got. The room itself was clean but the homes and the property are very outdated. Thre are attempts at updating it. The breakfast staff were too busy socializing rather than refilling the food items. I had to tell them many times that things needed to be refilled.

The facility is in serious disrepair. It was clearly a beautiful property at one time, but it needs some serious TLC. The furniture is worn and stained. The wall trim is missing or unfinished. I had to ask for toilet paper. Very little was in the bathroom. All surfaces were sticky and unclean. We were too tired to look for another hotel.

The motel was for sure out of the at a dead end road. The highway was close by, so was noisy from that. I liked the newer laminate floors, however it is very outdated and needs a major up lift. There was rust every where. My queen bed was broke and leaned side ways making it hard to sleep. Breakfast was good. Parking was good. Staff very friendly.

From the moment you arrive you see the deterioration of the place, nothing to do with the photos with which they announce it. Everything around is dirty inside and out. It doesn't have air conditioning in the common areas and they stink. The rooms are not very clean either, in a whole week no one got to clean the room and much less to change sheets and towels. The corridors with garbage and bad smells. Most of the employees with a very bad attitude. The breakfast was very poor and poorly cooked, plus at 7:45am there was not even coffee left. As soon as I arrived and saw everything I wanted to cancel even if they charged me for the first night but they told me that if I canceled I had to pay for the 6 nights I had booked so I chose to stay, but it was totally unpleasant.
