Beware, inexpensive place but you get what you pay for. Dirty, depressing place. Only stayed because there was no other option. Paid extra for a kitchen. This 'upgrade' included 1 coffee cup, 1 fork, 1 steak knife, 3 eating spoons (2 of which were dirty - I gave them to manager who was indifferent and didn't have them replaced; so really, 1 spoon), 2 cooking utensils in a dirty plastic cup that had a dead fly inside, a two-burner electric stove (1 heating element did not work, so really, one-burner stove), a refrigerator that froze everything, 3 dinner plates, 5 coffee plates but 1 coffee cup, 1 pan, 1 pot; no bowls, glasses, kitchen nor paper towels, knife, cutting board nor any other standard utensils. Crumbs and stains everywhere, the shelf liners were filthy and stained. Linoleum flooring badly stained, should be replaced. Bed pillows were lumpy and bedding was thin and thread-bare. Pool was murky and pool area very depressing. Grounds were equally depressing and not at all like the photos show. The good: convenient laundry (1 washer and 1 dryer) onsite, ice machine (but no ice bucket; had to use a cooking pot) Lobby looks decent, easy parking, good location, strong water flow in shower with hot water, mattress comfortable, inexpensive to stay (but you get what you pay for)

Overall the hotel isnt bad. Its fine for one night stay. The tv was small, the none of the lights matched. The shower is small and the soap dish rack had rust in it. The floor boards also had cracks in them. They could definitely use some upgrades.

We got the wrong room initially and then when we got the right room, the bed looked like it hadn’t been made. The room and the outside of the place looked outdated and not like what the picture showed.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was spacious, that added to the sense of openness. However, the bed left much to be desired; the mattress was old and lacked comfort, making restful sleep a challenge. The thin walls allowed every sound from the neighboring rooms to seep through, turning the space into a cacophony of voices and footsteps at all hours. The television, while equipped with a full cable package, produced a thin, tinny sound that detracted from any enjoyment of its programming. Additionally, the room could benefit from improved lighting; it only had two small lamps that barely illuminated half of the space, casting shadows that seemed to linger in the corners. Overall, the room had potential but fell short in several key areas.

This is an older property, but they are working on fixing it up. Our unit had newer floors (laminate) which was nice. We were not expecting anything fancy for a quick trip and it was absolutely fine. The management was appreciative when I pointed out a couple of things that needed replacing (one of the lightbulbs in the vanity needed to be replaced but it was still plenty bright. If we went up again for a short stay, I would return. It isn’t as fancy as the casinos and large hotels but for the price, well worth it.

The pictures on the website are not what it is. I had to cancel our booking and went to find another place to stay. It seems like this property is under a new owner/ management, and they should consider remodeling or paint the whole property so they can have a better condition of their rooms and facilities. If they want more people to stay with them, they have to
