I would like at least a partial refund! I should never have been offered lodging that is under construction. The latch on the door was falling off and there was no hot water in the shower. The staff member said someone else complained but maybe I didn’t turn it on right. INSULTING!

Badddd

Had to get a different hotel. When walking to the front door there was a window you could seen through due to no curtains and in the room was a demolished room with no floor and what appears to be construction stuff inside of a tub. When arriving the place was dirty and smelled of human urine. When getting to the room the smell worsened and there were doors that had been pried open and had damage and what looked to be bullet holes through them. When getting to the room fist opening the door there was a wave of heat, the lights did not turn on. There was a mattress with no sheets or frame on the ground. The toilet in the bathroom was disabled and clogged. There was a blinder in the tub and the shower head was disassembled and there was something sticking out of the drain. We only took one step inside then turned around. And had to find a new hotel in the middle of the night. The owner was also walking around in a bathing suit and looked very unprofessional. There was not a pool in this place either so I dont understand the bathing suit.

Don’t go here!

We didn’t even go inside. Sheets were on the windows, and the place was obviously under reconstruction and new management, but work hadn’t been completed.

Mid-Update

This hotel is under new ownership and undergoing renovations. The outside has clearly not been updated, we were concerned when we arrived. Our room has new paint and beds, minimal cheap furniture, and the bathroom furnishings are mid-upgrade. It was good enough for a one night stop and has potential. The room was clean, which is our priority.

Ask for a renovated room.

It was good. The only thing is they originally gave us an old room, not one which has been renovated. So ask for a renovated room and you will be fine.

Friendly staff, but not great conditions yet.

The hotel was just being renovated from another owner. It smelled like paint which I understood. However, there was cleanliness issues in the hallways and in the corners of the room. Even though they had updated or were in the process of updating, the toilet tissue roll was rusty And other issues with the room. I decided not to stay there again.

Clean, cold air and a comfy bed.

This was recently purchased by a new owner. If you need a clean room with good A/C, a comfy bed, good shower and toilet at a great price then this is your place. If you’re looking for the Ritz this is not your place. Room had a frig but no microwave and some things are a bit dated. But it was clean, bug free and comfy. There was a microwave downstairs that you could use. All and all we were happy and it served the purpose.

We did not know the property just changed hands a few weeks ago. Here for a near by wedding. We were just at about the only ones there. No free breakfast. Front desk women was nice. Almost charged twice for rooms. I had paid on Expedia and she was going to charge my son and I again. She did clear it up after speaking to her manager.The beds and bedding were nice.
