    Stated above

    It was a nice room. I've stayed here before. I only complaint is the water pressure in the shower isn't strong enough.

    The hotel is pretty old, and my room was directly in front of the outside stairs. There were people hanging out by the stairs and talking very loud at night. There was no sink stopper in the sink, so I had to use a washcloth to plug the sink so that I wouldn't accidentally wash my contact lenses down the drain. The bath towels were about half the size of a regular bath towel and very thin and scratchy.

    I expected newer facilities.

    The staff is nice. The cleanliness exeserviceable. Property felt safe enough, and is kept trash-free. The facility is old, and furniture and curtains shabby. The bed was in need of a new mattress, though it was serviceable.

    The room smell like cigarettes and I’m not a smoker! Curtains covering the window falling off. Had to swat a few flies in the sink and bathroom area

    Good location I’ll give them that much. And the person that checked us in was nice.

    The rooms are a bit dated and need a table and chairs. Housekeeping doesn't come by on the weekends, so make sure you've got enough towels and toilet paper with the Friday drop-off.

    We spent two weeks here after being displaced from our home due to black mold. I was actually recovering from major surgery. The staff worked with my limitations in the sweetest ways, definitely going above and beyond. They would bring me documents to sign when I extended our stay. They'd check if I needed anything. Made any maintenance repairs IMMEDIATELY. Even helped me load the truck when we checked out. The price was good and the pool very clean and refreshing.

    My first room had a huge cockroach, and AC didn’t work . A hotel people live in is kinda ghetto.

    They changed my room so it was a little more decent.

    Under the bed was filthy there was used cigarettes and change, dirt. The microwave looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The tub in the bathroom was broken and when you stepped in it popped. The ceiling had obvious water damage. The toilet was dirty and so was the sink. The only thing clean in there was the fact the bed was made and the sheets were clean.

    The bed was made and the surface areas were clean
