The door wasnât properly sealed & you could see light all the way around. The curtains were torn. There was no breakfast as the pictures portrayed. The location was sketchy. We ended up not staying (got a refund) due the fact that I felt that I couldnât leave my vehicle unattended. There were people hanging around outside when I got there around 10pm. Women who I can only assume that they were prostitutes. Men, who could I only assume that were drug dealers. This property is not what it appears to be on the website.
The pictures on the website are deceiving. The lobby was disgusting and smelt of beer and stale cigarettes. The parking lot was full of trash and weeds, and when we got to the room, it was filthy and had bugs.
The pictures are from 1990 or so. The building is not even the same color. The room was clean but old and damaged. The bath tub was hand painted. The pool is nasty and the grounds were nasty. Despite this the people were friendly. I believe they tried to upgrade but it was done in a hurry. It was cheap, it's pictures were night and day different. It was comfortable enough for the price. It needs a major make over. I have pictures but there is no place to upload them. Thanks!
