The bathroom was very dirty and had pubic hair in the tub and on the floor. We had to buy cleaning supplies to clean it. The beds were hard. The room stunk. The pool was closed off. The host was not helpful. I wouldn’t stay there again and will spread the word about this place.

I liked being about to check in a little sooner due to bad weather and I needed to prop my foot due to my ankle being broken. I didn't like that I had reserved king bed room and got 2 double beds.

Generally dirty. The front door sweep had been chewed through by rodents (?). Crust on bathroom floor tile. Toilet leak? Some type of scented cleaner concealing God only knows what odor. Had to walk around entire building to access pool as access through lobby was closed and nearly uninhabitable from cleaner smell.. Leering Indian guy in housekeeping next door to our room. Would not accomodate 2 hour early check in although entire property was empty. Big spot on carpet immediately inside door.

This stay was example of “ you get what you pay for.” Easy and friendly check in. Property looks great and well maintained from a distance. Beautiful flowers, fountain, and koi pond. Pool looked well maintained and other guests were enjoying it. Our original room smelled so strong— a mix of mold, dust, and super strong cleaning chemicals. We tried to air it out, but the windows had no screens and my attempt to open a super dirty window resulted in a pinched finger. We went to dinner and decided to ask for a room change when we came back. No problem to change, and the new room only smelled of cleaner, so we settled in. Lots of noise from other guests, but it was Saturday night, so we dealt with it. Shower was stained and broken down, so we slept and checked out as early as possible. That said, it was a third of the price of my usual Marriott brand in the same town.

The floor and bathroom could be a little cleaner other than that you can't beat the stay. Staff extremely nice.
