Ended up staying here last minute after the shady people at Studio 6 sold the room I’d reserved. Staff were all friendly. Not where I planned to stay, but room was clean; and it wasn’t too loud for Friday/Saturday nights.s
Very dirty. Tv was busted and had weird mold spots in the first room. Second room had roaches. Hotel desk clerk was extremely nice and they gave us a refund no issues. Decent people just a terrible hotel. The pool looked decent.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025

OK for Quick Over-nighter w/ VERY LOW Expectations
Desk personnel were very good. Room had a couple issues with broken items, for example the toilet paper holder, but was clean and comfortable. Breakfast advertised, but I went by at 6:10am and there was cold cereal, a coffee machine, really old pump creamer containers (creamer separated or overly thick), and a juice machine.
Staff was nice, cleaned my room daily, but shower was disgusting the water had rotted out the metal door frame and allows water to go into living space behind the wall. Room shouldnt be rented it needs to be fixed whole wall is open and rotting mold and whatever else inside it. Only stayed due to no refund policy 2 nights for work.
Soon as we pulled up to the property at 1:30 am we noticed a lot of people standing outside. One of those people walked up to the car to attempt a drug transaction not knowing who we were. There was noise and traffic throughout the night which made it impossible to sleep. Lastly the room had fleas
I love the place it’s quiet the rooms are clean nice and tide blankets are clean and washed floors are clean as well bed is nice and soft. The lady in the front office was such a sweet heart
Burns in the linens traffic in and out all night..prowlers,,seems lots of young people Living on the property everything there is outdated,,we went because everything else was fully booked and just to lay our head for sleep I will not ever stay again definitely not worth the money you hear arguments all night doors wide open with chairs on porch like they live there if you like the hood well there it is! A BIG NO!! Pool small and dirty and green
