It was good

2/10 Poor

Horror

1st: they said our reservation was cancelled but we never got notification of this. They said they let expedia know, but we booked through hotels.com. 2nd: they said they did have rooms and would honor what our quoted rate was, which was a good thing. 3rd: room appeared clean, but the one pillow and bed looked like someone had laided down on it, the sheets and bedspreads had cigarette burn holes and the floor wasnt swept. 4th: the a/c dial to regulate the temp was broken. I had to use my fingernail to get the temp to turn colder. 5th: advertisement stated had a continental breakfast, but when I went down to get coffee, was told by the clerk they dont offer any. 6th: the clerk was sleeping when I came to get coffee and was back to sleep when we went to check out.

Never again!

The room was dirty. Floors werent swept, toilets weren't clean(had previous urine on the rim), no towels, fridge wasnt working. But i guess you get what you pay for. My kids enjoyed the pool which needed cleaning. Also the ice machines do not work.

4/10 Fair

Moldy bathtub. Dirty floors. Seemingly ancient building. And that's all somehow, to me, excusable, however, the road noise from the highway all night was UNBEARABLE. That mixed with the super lumpy mattress and pillows, I was unable to sleep at all.

This is the nastiest, most disgusting hotel I have ever step foot in. I had checked in and sat in the room for less than 5 mins and went to the check out counter and demanded a refund and checked out of the hotel.

Room did not have adequate air conditioner and none of the hotel keys would work. Front desk had to open my door with a real key and said he would have to let me in every time I needed in my room.

Room was clean. However needs update and repair. Stairs need cleaning. Lobby was locked, had to check in and out through window. Surrounding wasn't very inviting.
