We felt like we completely wasted our money at this hotel. The room was unfinished, with incomplete wall paint, and the bathroom was in terrible condition—far worse than anyone would expect. The heater worked unpredictably, leaving us freezing throughout our stay. This was the worst hotel experience we’ve had in the U.S.

When I woke up in the morning, the bathroom floor was covered with ants. No man to speak of. The check-in process was horrible. They apparently leave the keys in lock boxes but I was asked to get back in my car and go to another property to pick up the keys from my room. I did not and I just took a key for a room with an open key box but apparently that wasn't good enough for them even though I did tell them and they seemed OK with it, they came to my room and asked me to move just as I was getting settled in. On my second day, I got a knock on my door asking me to come to the office and sign some paperwork But when I went to the office there was no one there… Two times . Avoid at all cost. It's a dump

This rooms have been remodeled with the cheapest materials in the industry! However the rooms are clean and have new carpet. 3 pillows vs 4 on a king size bed, no blanket or comforter in winter, no tissue in the bathroom, exhaust fan falling off from ceiling, smoke detector taped to the celing, broken heater in the bathroom, one ceiling light in entire room and one old desk lamp on desk. Nobody staffs the front desk and no daily maid service. The young Indian boys at check in were very nice and said that this property was the best of all the properties owned by the group! It was winter and I never use a hotel pool but this pool was filled in with dirt and rock and surrounded by a rusty broken fence in the middle of the parking lot!

Disgusting. Should be shut down.

Disgusting place. A non smoking room had cigarette smoke saturation. Ar midnight we had to chabge rooms because our throats started aching. Disgusting bathroom. Ling hair everywhere on bedding, even in the second room. Major corrosion and stains in both bathrooms.
