Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The bed was warm and there was plumbing and tv. Other than that the stay was mediocre. The small breakfast bar was not stocked in the morning with nothing but probably the previous morning's leftover half loaf of bread, cereal, 2 granola bars, and a quart of milk.

The place stinks, from the hall into the room. There was hair in the bathtub. The towels and bedding are worn out. The chairs have stains on them. I would not have stayed here but for the fact the ac in my camper did not work in the 105 degree heat. I did not sleep well and was out the door before 6 AM.

The clerk walked out to us with no bra on, barefoot, not friendly, called because i forgot some items in the room, very rude, yelling unfriendly. When we went to the room, you push the fur and it opened rugby up. Bathroom dirty, shower slimey, horrible experience

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This property was dirty from the front door to the room and within. Floors hadn’t been vacuumed in quite awhile. There were hairs and buggers in the bathroom. The air conditioner sounded like a jet plane and didn’t actually cool the room off until 3:00 in the morning. The room was sweltering hot. Would never recommend this place.
