Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The first room they gave us smelled like an ashtray. We went back to the office and they gave us another room. That room smelled moldy. The whole place seemed rundown. The rooms felt dirty and musty even though they may have tried with new carpet and bedding. We asked for our money back and went to another hotel.

Rooms are open to the outside, so security marginal. The bathrooms were showing a lot of wear and there were hairs in the bathroom shower when we got there. TV remote battery was low and had to manually operate it. Carpet felt dirty and room was very dark. Not very impressive and glad it was only for one night.

DO NOT BOOK HERE! There were holes in the shower, stains on all of the bedding, I was told housekeeping was off for the weekend, the furniture and bedding had holes, and an adjoining room was complaining about bugs. I spoke with the manager and let him know I was uncomfortable staying there and requested a refund and he screamed at me. He called me greedy and refused to refund my stay. I was traveling for a funeral and exhausted upon arrival. I paid and still chose to leave the room and stay elsewhere due to being uncomfortable and fear of retaliation from the manager.
