Disappointed? A little
We we not even sure we had gotten the right room. The beds were not queen size like in the reservation. 1 made a terrible amount of noise when you moved around on it. The cleanliness was questionable. The pool had very limited hours but looked clean. Overall a NO frills place.

The best at a reasonable price. Hands down.
A very nice hotel for the price. I would book again every time. It was quiet. Clean linen. I got a nice sized room with balcony, there was a nice pool and a bench complete with bhuda statue. Hotel owner was very helpful with booking and checkin times and went the extra mile helping with my late check in. Very nice well kept hotel. I encountered not a single issue or anything seedy. A genuinely nice budget hotel that i hope stays around, even with a change in ownership. Would have loved to see the sports bar up and running. :)

Wow, these guys are something else. If I could give negative stars I would! Service and attitude was so bad it turned comical! Almost straight out of a bad sitcom! We were about 130 miles from the location when some lady named Stephanie called and said if we don't get there by 8pm our hotel room would expire and we wouldn't get our money back. First off, there was nowhere on the expedia website that stated this under the hotel description. If we knew we would have made sure to get there sooner. This Steph lady was rude and unnecessarily combative. We decided to stop and stay somewhere else that night but arrived at the hotel the next day. Once there we found out Stephanie wasn't even the manager as she had lied she was. I also purchased breakfast with the room and get this...yall ready? She said there's a coffee maker in your room and here's a packet of oatmeal! Lord I can't make this up! We stayed the second night because we were too tired to find another hotel but please please please stay away from this place! I don't even know how it's still in business! I have to now request a refund from my credit card company. I don't understand how this type of fraud businesses verified by expedia and offering to people.

Their Wi-Fi signal didn't reach the room, it was only available around the front desk area. Tried to call the front desk from the room several times and they never pick up. No AC in the room.
