Found 3 small roaches going around the water faucet by the sink area in the bathroom. Tv remote control did not work, a/c controls were very loose, hard to adjust the temprature. This place sucks, trash outside most rooms!
Poorly staffed. Family that owns the place converted the first room behind the front desk into a living room off of their own living quarters. So when you look behind the front desk you can see discreet into the theater living quarters dream. Super unprofessional
Gentleman at front was kind but the whole place was a disaster. Rooms were unclean (dead roaches, no toilet paper, no towels). It was an unsanitary place. The sofa bed was unusable because it was so dirty. The man at the front gladly gave us our money back. Also, the room that we had reserved was out of order because of a clogged or leaky shower. They never called to let us know and they accommodated us with a poor replacement. The bathrooms also had electrical wires exposed with only see-through yellow tape covering them. My overall experience was terrible. We left to a Super 8 motel around the corner.
I was given a room that was still occupied. Not happy about that. And then I was given another room where the bed was horrible, I should have slept on the floor. I definitely don’t recommend this location.
STAY AWAY!!! We only booked here because every other place in the area was sold out! The place is absolutely DISGUSTING. Room was extremely filthy, stains on the walls and all the furniture, pubic hairs on the towels, hair in the bed, clogged sink, kitchen so dirty there’s no way you’d want to use it. Room smelled very bad (weed and god knows what else). I don’t mind staying in simple motels as long as they are somewhat clean. This is place is the worst of the worst. Never gets cleaned and owners clearly don’t care. You’re better off sleeping in your car.

Disliked: Staff & service
Customer service was lacking and they gave a key to someone that accessed our room in the middle of the night!
Overall, I didn’t feel safe staying here!.
Entry door was hard to close shut .
Countertops and kitchen sink were stained and floor mats in the bathroom was dingy and spotted. No remote to the tv.
Communicating with the staff was a little frustrating.
This place is in desperate need of an upgrade and makeover. Black mold in bathrooms, some lights work others don’t, pool is just a mess and I wouldn’t even go near that water. It’s like someone bought an old motel with the plans to renovate and upgrade it but never got around to it!
Our room smelled like old people and mold! It seemed like it had been MONTHS, if not longer, since the last time the room had been cleaned or dusted. When taking a shower, all of the dirt came off the tub, making it a gross experience. There wasn't even a phone in our room to connect to the front desk! The WiFi NEVER worked, not for one minute.
The front desk were courteous but much more needs to be done
