8/10 Good

Pleasant staff, we came in super late but the lady assisting us was prompt and pleasant. The room was clean, but there was an unpleasant smell throughout the room. The pillows didnot have the scent, gratefully. For the price, it was a great stay

I would of preferred having the office closer,
Stella, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The air conditioner was not on when we arrived in our room. The room was very hot and stuffy. Staff did not know location of ice machine so we had to go to a neighboring hotel to get ice.
Deb, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The rooms light are out of order. Water logged in the bathtub. Room service only replace towel unless explicitly what are the things you want
Partha, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Not clean. Switched us to budget in. Beside a large open garage door full of dirty laundry
Crystal, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The reason for the low rating is because when we arrived several others were in the office complaining about bed bugs. My group decided not to stay, and the Office wouldn't refund us for our 2-night stay. The reason we chose NOT to stay is because of a potential health risk and bed bugs can be anywhere on site and hard to get rid of!!
Jodi, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Traveling by motorcycle stated this place so we can catch the boat ride The pool was not an option as it was green and nasty and hadn't been cleaned in a while nor the hot tub that was in the building or pool whatever it was you can see he was nasty for the price the room was a good room to catch some sleep and in rest
