The room was spotless, spacious, and the shower water was hot and soothing. The night manager at the front desk is also a really kind human. She cares about people because another guest needed jumper cable and she went out of her way to obtain one for the guest.

Room was terrible. Peeling wall paper, toilet leaking on floor, filthy carpeting. The floor was very soft in places like rotten under carpet. They claimed to have breakfast included, but we didn't check it out because the lobby was so tiny. The property was just run down. Very disappointed

When we arrived, even though the room looked like it had been cleaned, the restroom was still dirty with toilet paper still in the toilet, and no extra rolls near by. There was a bad smell in the room and the surrounding area.

The place is falling apart a bit structurally. The front desk is tiny and is where an also tiny breakfast is served. Front desk staff had a very indifferent demeanor. Double charged us accidentally and took over a week to resolve it. Totally serviceable for a needed place to stay, not recommended for leisure/vacation.

We got to our room and had a very terrible smell. The room was dirty & better filthy. The front desk said that there were no more rooms available. It took me almost two (2) hrs to clean and sanitize the room. I had brought my own disinfectant,-sanitary wipes , luckily. I have pictures of all the dirt from the floor from the bathroom to the front room and where the banshee was at. I cleaned and wiped everything down. It was filthy. Never again while I stay there. I would like to have a Refund of my two day stay.
