Horrible

Hotel front desk was good, the lobby smelled and very outdated. When we got to our room very dark, notice a stain on the bed, hair on bathroom floor and in the bathtub. The bathtub looks like if it had been ran thru so many times, years. Just horrible. My daughter also ended up forgetting her tablet and when I got home after Knotts soak city I went to do find my phone and it’s last location was the hotel so I called hotel they said they would look. So I called back took awhile to answer n they tried saying it was not there when I kept telling that’s the location it’s at. Well they ended finally saying they have it. Just overall bad.

Ok for what we paid

The location for food is great, but location for safety wasnt good. Alot of bums riding through the halls and outside of parking. There was an incident where the front desk staff came pounding on my door yelling at me because he could not get his point through my husband. Unprofessional and totally not ok to disrespect someone. The rooms need to updated as there was paint chips coming off the sink and walls. Continental breakfast was really continental, only cereal a waffle maker and toast bar.

Property below par on cleanliness and maintenance. Cracked tiles, chipped (multiple) sink, leaking faucet. Only good thing for the price, but next time I will pay more elsewhere. Breakfast was only carbs. No fruit, no eggs, nothing hot, so you better be ready for some cereal and waffles.

This place is old. The furniture was old, worn, broken, scratched, etc. Two lights wouldn't turn on and the tv remote wouldn't work. The floors were very dirty and there was someone elses hair in the tub drain. The breakfast consisted of waffles or plain bread or cereal. No protein.

Close to knotts

Check in was quick and front desk worker was very nice. The rooms looked like they stopped mid renovation- there was an accent wall painted orange and wood looking floors however the bath tub had huge cracks towards the front and had to be careful where you stood as it was soft and would push in with weight. Breakfast was ok - waffle station, fruit loops or Raisin Bran I believe, toast, and juice machine with orange or apple juice. We stopped for fruit and protein after check out but overall it was a decent place still and close to knotts with an affordable rate.

Good but bad..

PROS: Love the feel of the mattress.. room was clean.. staff was friendly… convenience of travel to my events was great.. NO BUGS in my room!! CONS: pillows were thick but too hard for me.. door open to the patio would have been nice site to see walking out the room but it looked unkept n a storage for broken items.. love the cat host, gave him a piece of chicken for a tip 😺.. it meet us at the door (this was a pro).. wished the lamps on the desk worked..
