The best I could do

The pool was closed, looked lile for a long time , the grounds were 3rd world as fas as cleanliness went it wasn't your regular Days Inn. It didn't look like the pictures in the travel brochures. The place was always packed , which means they make a lot of $$$$$, so hire some help to keep up on your investment. If you advertise a pool make sure its open.

The door to my room was covered in what looked like soda or something that had never been cleaned off. It made me not want to touch the door handle. Also the outside trash cans seemed to always be full. The room inside was clean but several areas in need of repair. The areas that were cosmetic didn't really bother me but the tv didnt work. Everything else was ok.

No frills decent place but…

We stayed at this hotel for the state fair showing animals and came back ready for a shower all 3 nights. However, our room was never cleaned and never had towels. We went down and asked for new towels and asked why our room wasn’t cleaned and was told they didn’t have anymore towels at the moment. It’s no frills but a decent place to stay.

Sketchy

We decided to go cheaper and will not do that again. This property was a little sketchy. Staff was friendly. I want to make sure they know that. But the tub was not clean and had a little water in it. When we checked out the next morning they wouldn’t let us in the lobby due to a man being threatening to the owner and another threatening man in the parking lot. They took our key and sent us on our way. Interesting to say the least.
