Better than being on the streets, better price than others.If tired,low on cash and displaced it would do for a night or two.Really if you need a place cause you have no where to stay,it's not scary, not new or comfy but would do..i asked to see the room before staying so i think I might have gotten a better one.

My Room;
Minuses:Sheets had hair on them all under the sheets(some long hair ,some short and curly),,body indentation in mattress, I kept falling in dip(kinda funny} but creepy.I felt I needed full body /clothes sanitation after staying there,wear socks+ slippers when walking on carpet.
.Pluses maid nice ,saw her do job in other rooms after I checked in, staffs nice,NO dead bodies in the room,nice garden landscape in courtyard ,no one bothered us,no visible bugs I saw.

Breakfast :Nice waffles,BAD milk spoiled or just in a crusty unclean pitcher???I don't know.

Pool/spa: Hot tub just a empty hole in the ground with wood planks and junk in it ,it was closed but I think the pool was still open.

Room Tip: Ask to see room you would be staying in before,renting.

“This hotel is dirty!”

Reviewed 16 October 2011

I stayed at this hotel for almost a week. I got bitten a couple times....moved to another room. The coffee maker looked like it's never been cleaned. Even the hair dryer has dirt built on it.

Terrible place to stay!!!!

“Bad Motel Experience”

Reviewed 8 July 2011

The motel key rarely worked...the office and maintenance had to unlock the door several times with the master key for me to get in.
Had ants in the room and magets in the outside trash can by the door.
The bathroom light had to be "flicked on" several times before it would come on as it normally should.
The window curtain was halfway falling off.
Maid didn't come everyday either.

“Stay Away from this place”

Reviewed 25 May 2011

I rented two rooms. First room had a very loud A/C. Switched rooms.
Second room, the girl sat on the bed and the headboard fell off the wall and hit her in the head. She switched rooms. That had stained sheets and bed bugs.
I think it is also a flop house for drugies.
I complained to the corporate office and have still not heard back from them.

“Used needles left in my room!!”

Reviewed 14 May 2011

We arrived to what looked like a clean, safe, and well managed place. Once I stepped into the lobby my opinion of the hotel changed for the worse. The guy at the counter had no clue what he was doing and was very rude. When I was finally given my room key things took a turn for the sleazy. There was lipstick stains on the pillows and the bathroom looked so dirty. There was black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and no toilet paper. The pool was so gross and the hot tube looked like it had broken down years earlier. After almost stepping in what looked like 2 month old throw up we went back to our room feeling extremely contaminated. This was just in the first 30 mins there. What made this horrifying hotel visit even worse was the used needles we found in the closet. I had called the front desk and the man didn't believe me. Finally I heard a knock on the door, the manager said thank you for telling us and then took the used needles and threw them in the trash outside. We went to the front desk, complained some more, and decided to leave the hotel while we were all still HIV FREE!!! Do not under any circumstances EVER go there. I still feel like I need to wash the filth of that place off of me and my family.
