Horrible experience. Filthy, stinky property, and the staff was not helpful at all. The pictures of the rooms and lobby on the website are not representative of what it actually is, and can be construed as false advertising. I recommend NOT staying at this hotel.

While i didnt notice until the morning, my room door didnt close all the way and didnt latch. I did notice my deadbolt didnt latch, and i let that slide due to the little flick latch thing they had on the door was well. Otherwise the staff were nice. The grounds were fine, nothing to write home about. The rooms were clean enough.

The outside appearance and walking into to lobby made me nervous. Very old and dirty. The gentleman who checked me was super nice. My room was actually very nice and clean. Outside property needs some work. Building is old and worn. Time for some paint and weed eater. But room was nice
