Absolutely Disgusting!!
This place was a disaster. I came in for the night due to an early Volleyball tournament for my daughter. The first room I was given was the WORST. I walked in and when I opened the bathroom door there was literal crap everywhere. Poop on the toilet seat, floor, shower. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Absolutely disgusting. I went back down to the desk to be moved. The receptionist apologized and gave me another room. My daughter, father and I lugged are luggage up the stairs to the new room, only to find a big puddle of water from the roof that was leaking. I called the receptionist and was told I had to run my luggage down again for yet another room. This is the worst experience I have ever had. My family and I were already tired and now we had to move our luggage 3 different time up and down the stairs. How do you not know that your rooms are filthy.
