Waited 15 minutes to check in because there were multiple people in line and one person at desk. Get to our room and right away we were revolted. Before we got to our room we stepped in a puddle in the hallway because of a ceiling leak. The room ceiling looked like it needed repair, bed and floor had stains all over, brand new socks turned almost black just from walking on carpet. The bedside table lamp had a GREEN light bulb. We planned on giving our toddler a bath in the tub but it just looked absolutely disgusting with mildew and grime. There was a dead bug in the ac unit. I was tolerating it all until I noticed the black socks then demanded a refund. I was going to call the desk but there was no directory or speed dials on the pin pad. I will say the front desk staff was accommodating by ‘upgrading’ us to a nicer room and said if we still weren’t satisfied he would gladly refund. This room didn’t seem as dirty or dilapidated so we decided to stay.

The front desk staff were very good, welcoming, and responsive to my needs (e.g. missing light bulbs in room). Room did not seem checked thoroughly. Entrance E was dirty, trash, and LOTS of cigarrette butts that I cleaned up. E entrance not secure.

The entire hotel was hot throughout the entire weekends like they didn’t even have the ac on. The beds were all stained up.

Would not stay again. Check in person not the friendliest but driver in the morning to the airport was very friendly. The bathroom ceiling had mold from a leak on the above floor. TV did not have a power cord so was not usable. The smoke detector was wrapped in a plastic grocery bag. The carpet was unkept. The bathroom light above the mirror did not work.

My sheets were dirty. The staff asked what kind of dirty, took hours to attempt to bring covers, then got rude on the phone. A softball team had rooms where the toilets weren’t working. They were handed plungers. The front desk person laughed at them.
