I arrive 30 minutes prior to check in. I waited 15 minutes at the desk, called the office 3 times before housekeeping notified me to check in at the ajoined sister hotel. 15 minutes prior to checkin time, I entered the sister hotel, where I was informed I wasn't able to check in until 3. There were no visible guests, the hotel was not full. At 259, the person at the check in desk went outside. When he returned, a line of 6 parties formed to check in. The staff, changed the printer paper. It was hot in the lobby, the hotel had a strong smell, the parking lot has broken glass and disabled vehicles. I didn't check in and forfeited the room charge. Too many bad vibes.

Half the property was closed by order of the fire marshal. It was necessary to walk around the closed part of the building to get to the open part around the back. The building is very run down and smelled heavily of cigarettes and marijuana.

The hallways have a very strong odor of marijuana. The first room we checked into smelled so badly of cat urine that we had to leave immediately. We switched to another room, however the toilet did not work and there were feces in it. We attempted to use the public bathroom by the front desk, however there was vomit in the sink and on and around the toilet. We had to go to a nearby gas station to use the bathroom. If it hadn't been so late we would have left immediately. The grounds are very poorly kept with trash everywhere and uncut grass & weeds. The pool that looked so inviting on the website photos looked like a swamp and had a black tarp over it. There was also vomit on the floor of a gazebo outside that we briefly entered to get out of the rain. At 12:30am the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. We were told that someone had just pulled it for fun. I have photographs of all of the above, minus of course the fire alarm.

I was in the parking lot of the hotel I thought I was booking. I went inside and was told, "oh no this property was sold." I clicked on the expedia app to bring me to the room that I just paid for. I pulled up to a beautiful property. I was given a key and told to go around back. The property looked abandoned. Four men were sitting out front drinking from bagged bottles smoking something other than cigarettes. They told me I had a nice car and asked if I would be leaving it overnight? I should have left at this point. I went to my room. The door was open and it smelled like urine. At this point I turned my keys in and asked for a refund. This is fraud.

I booked a reservation for a room at the Super 8 in advance because I know rooms are scarce during the state fair. When I arrived no one was at the front desk. Eventually another guest walked by and told me to check in at the next door Baymont Inn. I hiked across the field to the Baymont front desk and waited in a long line for a very slow check-in. When I received a key I went back to the Super 8 and went into my room. At first I thought someone was still in the room and then I realized that someone had checked out and the room had never been made up. The bed had been slept in, all the towels were went and on the floor, there was no soap, nothing had been cleaned after a sloppy guest. I went to the front desk and explained. The only response I got was "do you want a refund?" I asked if another room was available and was told no. I asked if someone could make up the room and was told that the maids were gone for the day. Motels were no doubt all sold out by that time. So I enjoyed a lovely night's sleep in a bed with used sheets with the air-conditioner set at 60 degrees but keeping the room around 90 and humid.

Third i booked room for 2 guest and we only had one towel. Fourth the was homeless men sleeping in parking lot. Fifth someoe pulled the fire alarm around midnight and i had to exit the building till the fire dept came and cleared the building to be safe. Personally the worst experience i have ever had.

This was a gross hotel. They have the front "nice" hotel and then the back "crappy" hotel. Not sure how they figure who stays where. As soon as I walked into the building, it smelled so bad. Definitely can tell pot must be legal there. Didn't smell it in the main building. There were what looked like bloodstains everywhere, from the bedding to the ceiling. The pool wasn't even cleaned or usable. Will never book this hotel again.

Disgusting

Non- Smoking room However the room smelled of pot smoking, beds were not clean. One bed had a hole in the sheet and a pebble in it. The other bed had black flakes on the bed when we moved the pillow. There was a bug in the bathtub. The door would not lock you just could open it by turning the door knob. I did not stay there for more than 5 minutes. Would not recommend it to anybody.

This it a Homeless shelter, not a hotel

There’s nothing good about this hotel. I am not even exaggerating. Dirty walls, dirty floors, hair all over the bedsheets, no house keeping. You cannot call this a hotel. This is a homeless shelter
