This was the worst hotel that I have stayed in in the world. We checked in Sat 26 Jul 25 and out 28 Jul 2025. The common areas ( dinning area tables and floor, hallways and stair carpet) were not clean when we checked in and were not cleaned while we were there. Our room floor was so dirty that I would not walk on it barefooted, the bathroom door would not close and the blackout curtain was broken. The grounds and parking area had weeds, butts and trash all over. We will not be back. Roger Day

Employees were very nice and courteous. The hotel and facilities are nothing like the pictures. Had the employees not been so helpful during our incidents, we would have left for a different hotel.

The room was not clean. There were stains on the comforter. The only way to describe this place is: polished turd. You could tell it had been painted recently, yet there were rusted out spots on the door frames. The towel rack was falling off the wall. The shower was disgusting and needed caulked. The door was not self-closing and it was located in a sketchy area, making me question my safety. It may have flooded recently as they had fans going throughout the main areas. The pool looked ok, but I didn't want to risk getting sick after seeing how dirty and not maintained the rest of the facility was. It was a neat building and could be amazing if someone gutted the place and started fresh.

Decent accommodations for an overnight stay. The rooms and interior of the hotel were great. The outside looks like it’s seen better days, so the inside was a pleasant surprise.

Even hotel does not turn on all lights on the main floor. You feel scared when you walk thru. Some storage rooms doors were left open with blower fan on. Please don’t recommend this hotel to anyone. It’s scary place when it’s empty

Unfortunate

No elevator. Room on second floor; hadn’t stayed in a 2+ level hotel without an elevator or given a first floor room. I have leg braces and use a cane; Clerk was rude and not accommodating. Staircase railing was unsteady and wobbly. 2 partial bottles of shampoo, no conditioner. A hairdryer with metal plate and screws was lying on the bathroom counter uninstalled…hazard. Coffee pot was too dirty to use. Overall, a negative experience. Won’t be using a Choice Hotel unless there is no choice!
