    The floor in my room wasn't swept. The beds had gray stains on them. I asked for pool towels but instead of giving me some the front desk clerk told me I had to bring towels to him before he would give me any.

    The only thing offered for breakfast was pop tarts 😞. The juice machine was broken. The coffee was watery.

    We didn't get clean towels and rags. We was told we had to wait till morning. Then when morning hit we still had to wait. When we got towels that evening we was told there wasn't any rags and wouldn't be till morning. Couldn't watch the TV because there wasn't batteries in the remote and TV won't turn on without using remote. Smelled like Marijuana the whole time when walking outside.

    The picture on booking is old. The property was trashed. The walls in the room had holes in them. The TV didn’t have a remote which made it difficult to turn the TV. The elevator was broken so the rooms couldn’t be properly cleaned. The pool outside was trashy and ice cold for it to be 90 degrees outside.

    Both pools need to be cleaned. You couldn't see the bottom of the pool. The floors in the room were dirty. I almost fell off the toilet because the seat was really loose. The bathroom fan was very loud.

    The woman who checked us in was wonderful. Smiling and friendly. She also allowed the pool to stay open a little longer so our grandson could go swimming.

    The beds were a bit more firm than we are used to, but we did sleep after our busy day in the area, so they were not totally uncomfortable. There were no top blankets for the beds, as in comforters for extra warmth. It would have been nice to have a separate desk and microwave area. A small tabke with 2 chairs for a card game would have been nice as well, but i know room spacing is limited in many hotel accommodations. The microwave door button was tricky and made me wonder if it was partly broken as some of the rest of the room. The indoor pool was quite small. The outdoor pool would have been nice if it had been cleaned and ready to use and seemed to have been filthy for quite some while. The splash pad would have been nice if it had been accessible. I would have enjoyed the bathtub more if it had a working stopper. I would have liked the room more if it didn't already have cosmic flaws, non working main room light, torn shower curtain, flawed floor coverings, and a decorative unhung mirror in the floor as we did have a crawling toddler with us, and jolly rancher or gummy candy stuck to the floor suggesting that cleaning was not through. I don't usually comment negatively as I understand I am a budget shopper, but this hotel was misleading, like a false advertising disaster. Also, when I made a comment to one of the parent companies' associates at another related venue, they made light of it, like, since i was a budget shopper, I should expect inferior accommodations and that I should expext nice photos with less than real life representations as part of the less luxurious stay options. This experience makes me prefer my on-site hotel shopping experiences, perhaps, more than the online or 3rd party concept.

    I liked the low price. And the use of an indoor pool. 2 Queen size beds were nice. A bathtub is always nice in an out of town get away. A small to mid-size TV was tollerable. The microwave was tricky but worked. The refrigerator was small to mid sized and in working order. Free wifi and parking were nice.

    We had to go to Walmart to buy towels and wash cloths. We were told they didn't have enough towels and wash cloths to give us. We had no coffee pot in the room. We had to go buy our own toilet paper. Housekeeping never came into our room to clean or fill anything. We couldn't sleep with all the noise of people yelling, screaming down the hallway. They would be running up and down the hallway yelling. Our bathroom tub wouldn't drain. We were going to ask for our money back to go somewhere else, we didn't think we would be able to get our money back so we stayed. My husband heard a guy complaining about his room not being clean and got his money back. We should have asked for ours back. We will never stay there again.

    That the hotel was close to everything.

    No full breakfast as advertised on booking.com. Burnt old coffee and same old granola bars. Not even any cereal or orange juice. There was no bucket for ice had to put ice in plastic bag I had. TV was hard to set up. Kodell did help us with that he was only nice and informed staff member. Front desk clerk took 30 to 40 min per guest for check in. The $75 cleaning or damage fee should be included in the price of room. There was no bedspread on either queen bed. Just 2 sheets and a thin blanket. I had to fold covers in half back on top of me to be covered properly. No coffee maker or iron in room. One pool was slime green. Had to get more towels and bath cloths which Kodell gladly provided. This young man is only good staff member at this location.

    The bed was comfy. Room fairly clean. It was quite.

    Filthy all over, no bugs on the beds but also no bug protectors being used either. Pool was nasty. Hotel was out of pillows, TV wouldn't work nor the wifi. No washcloths in the room, and no breakfast although it was supposed to be included with stay. Staff would not assist in any way.

    The entire hotel needs a little TLC. The rooms were clean but needed to be maintained, I understand that hotels see a lot of traffic but there should be a little more care given to the facility.
