We got checked in then went to the room. Any room I stay in I check for bugs. This bed was not clean. I asked for a refund he wanted to die another room and there was, what looked like poop on the floor. We said no and wanted the refund then he said he couldn’t had to wait for management. Last minute had to find another hotel. I would not recommend staying there, ever!

The hotel is nothing like the pictures on the website. The bathroom ceiling leaking right on top of the toilet, this was terrible. The room was old, needs painting and a good cleaning. Pillows were old and old sheets were used; the floors could have been cleaner. Overall, this was an older model hotel, nothing like the website.
