The place is very dingy and smells. The 2 guys at the front counter were nice but they weren't very professional. The bed sheets were kind of gross and had stains.

To many people who wanted to talk loudly in the middle of the night. Slam doors and make noise

The room was clean but only 2 really lousy pillows. No shampoo no hair dryer. No coffee either in room or on the premises. No breakfast at all. I guess you get what you pay for. The mattress was good.

This place was horrible. There was a garbage can outside the room collecting water that was leaking from the ceiling. The front desk recommended we lock our doors at all times including the chain latch. Smelled like weed and the towels looked like someone wiped their butt with them and were never washed.

Check in went okay. We had to pay a 20.00 deposit along with out payment and would get it back after checkout. That was said no where in reservation. Got our first room. TV would not work and heater would not run longer than 30 seconds. They gave us another room. This one was a little better. I was updated I guess with a new heater, so that worked. We could not get TV to work again. Front desk came up and had to find is a different remote for the TV. So we had one to turn TV on and off and volume and another remote for finding channels. It worked. They did have a nice warm pool for my daughter so that was nice. Other than that, we would choose not to stay again. The front desk staff, both night shift and first shift were very nice and accommodating.

This place is a DUMP! Their are sketchy people always hanging around the entrance and lobby and it looks like a homeless shelter. Loud noisy ghetto hood rap and wanna be gang bangers all over the place and it reeks of smoke and weed. Do not stay here! It's filthy and very sketchy.

Hotel is terrible. Cigarette burns in bed spread. No smoke alarm. No towels in my room. Asked for towels in the morning on my way out the door and still didn’t have them in my room when I came back at 5.
Loud. Trashy. Pretty sure there were sketchy drug deals in the parking lot.
Just plain garbage.

There were no bath towels or wash cloths. They were brought to our room after the laundry was done. There was no shower curtain, which we did not notice until morning. The ladies at the desk tried to be helpful.

I wish that I could give this hotel a - star but that's not an option. So 1st when we came in the lady at desk ( lisa I do believe) was very rude & said I hope your not here for a room. Well we had booked 3wks ago so ya I needed my room that was already paid for. 2nd check in was at 2pm we got there around 4pm. Our rooms were not even close to being ready So we waited almost an additional hr for our rooms. We still didn't have towels etc. So I asked for towels for both rooms so we could shower after spending the day at the waterpark and the next lady at the desk (I believe her name was Amy) she told me that it was going to be awhile because laundry hadn't been done. So we used a couple leftover towels that we had brought with us. Now onto the room, There was holes in the wall, burn holes in the blanket & sheets, bathtub was dirty and where the towels go there was falling apart. There was no screens on any of the windows and a bunch of people going in and out smoking and drinking. Finally we decided to just grab some dinner and go to bed. The next morning in the breakfast area there was no food or coffee. I asked the lady at the desk (I think her name was Briann) about breakfast and they said that they don't do breakfast. She was able to give us towels to at least shower. I told her what had happened and she apologized. I'm defiantly disappointed in this hotel to say the least and will never stay here again nor give a good review to others.

My room did not have a refrigerator as advertised. There were no tissues provided in the room. The door to the bathroom dragged on the floor as its hinge was very lose and the door hit the shower curtain rod. Otherwise, we found no bedbugs which was great! The A/C unit worked well. The motel was not noisy and I slept fairly well for being away from home. When more towels were needed the staff provided them right away. My kids enjoyed the over-chlorinated pool.

The air conditioning didn’t blow cold. The room smelled like smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. There was only one outlet available for phone charging.

Finally the third room was decent it was clean it had no toilet paper however I got me some toilet paper and finally got to bed around 2:00 a.m. thank you

This hotel I would not recommend. We checked in and went to our room, check in process was good, on our way to room there were 2 boxes w BB guns in them propped against the wall. That was a bit strange. When we got to our room it was sparse to be fair. The smoke alarm was disconnected and laying on the shelf, one of the recessed lights was hanging partially out of the ceiling. The rooms are very thin as you can hear literally everything going on. All night there were people slamming doors, dogs barking all night, and at 3:30 AM small kids running up and down halls and going in and out of room doors. It appears that there must be long term residents that live there as conversations that took place alluded to they all had been at that hotel for a period of time.

The staff in the morning was very polite and helpful. The afternoon staff was not the best. As for the room window didn't shut properly lights were burnt out and no microwave. We had to ask for clean towels . Requested a extra blanket and was told they have no extra blankets. First motel we have ever stayed that had no alarm clock or anything on restaurants,churches, entertainment.

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, we were not given the room type requested. I regret that I forgot to take pictures, but the filth was epic! From food spills to poop on the wall, these things can’t be made up. Someone, who apparently lives there was sitting outside panhandling much of the time, (the staff was often in the same area)
This was all gross and unacceptable, but the real topper and the reason we left was because the door didn’t lock. The staff was informed on two occasions and each time came down to demonstrate how to slam the door in a specific way in order to get it locked. We put up with it for one whole day, allowing time to come fix it, then left after the second person offered the same “solution”
Additionally, we found out that the rate we were being charged through/by hotels.com was almost double the rate being charged by the hotel.

The whole hotel smell of cigarette smoke, even the non-smoking room. If you don't like cigarette smoke, this is probably not the place for you. The staff was nice and the room was clean (except the smoke smell.)

We did not recieve a room with a king bed like we had reserved. The bed was uncomfortable. We had to wait for room to be ready. The workers were very loud in the lobby area very early in the morning..the room smelled bad.

The outside was poorly kept and inside smelled like weed and BO... We had a non smoking room on the bottom floor... And it smelled like stale smoke inside the room. Also the bedding was stained dirty looking.
But the sheets and pillow cases were nice and white
