tripadvisorNo complementtry breakfast. No pool. Lights in room entry or bathroom kept tripping the breaker. Basically never stay there agai
MoreThis hotel is legitimately disgusting. The entire second floor smells like cigarettes. Aside from the smell, there were 2-3 inches of what looked to be water damage on the door and torn carpet. The beds were made up nicely but the entire place seemed generally dingy. We were going to be staying with a 2 year old and 5 year old and there was just no way. We checked back out and drove the rest of the way home. From the less than 5 minutes we were in the room, my mom and I both had headaches, that’s how strong the smell was. When we told the man at the counter that we couldn’t stay because of the smell, he offered to spray Febreze. I declined and asked him if he could do any refund and he said the best he could do was refund the deposit ($50, to ensure no one is smoking in the rooms). Avoid this hotel at all costs.
More$$$FRAUDULENT CHARGE$$$I had to file a report with this hotel because they took the amount of the deposit out of my account instead of placing it on hold like all other hotels do because it's not a purchase and I didn't agree to the charge I agreed to the deposit. But they took it out 2 times and after checkout they showed me that they put the amount back into my account but only showing 1 of them so it looked as if they followed through with the agreement. After getting home from my trip ans looking further into the transaction they still had some if my money. So I filled charges and had turned all this into my bank because it's stealing money from people and it should never come out of your bank it is a hold not a purchase deposit money is not purchase money. The owners are doing this illegally so clearly look at your bank statement and u would highly suggest just not staying here to begin with because if there doing this at the door as you walk in what else are they guilty of beyond that door. As for the other ratings on hotel the place is nasty with employees that have bad attitudes and management that could care less. As a business traveler all over I would not recommend this place to anyone. This hotel is turning customers onto victims so beware.
MoreFirst and foremost, the staff I interacted with were beyond helpful and kind. I thought they did the absolute best with what they had. That being said, the hotel desperately needs a remodel. The wall and floor in my room were separating, pipes showing, and just overall wear were blatant. The room worked for me as I was only there to sleep but I would not consider it again, especially if I had coworkers joining me on the next trip.
MoreMy wife and I had stayed there because of an advertisement on the billboard (hot tub rooms) Upon arrival the parking lot had trash throughout as if it hadn't been cleaned in a while, the garbage/cigarettes can was over full, we checked in around 1pm. The staff was friendly and checked us in quickly. Our room was ok, looked clean but smelled odd. Laminate flooring was cold and not pleasant for a hotel. The bed was a king which seemed sunk in in the middle section, almost felt it was old. My wife and I came back after a night of sightseeing and decided to try the hot tub, which actually was a jacuzzi tub by the way which sat in the bed area. The tub filled and we turned on the jets which were very noisy and didn't seem to move any water after about 3-4 minutes the jets began to barely work which stayed that way for the remainder of the tub soak. We finally layed down to sleep and as I guessed the bed sank in the middle leaving us both in the center of the bed, I didn't mind it until the morning and awoke with a back ache. Morning came and I was hungry, breakfast of any kind was NOT offered, covid or not there is wrapped products that can be served especially when breakfast is advertised with the stay. We decided it was time to head home around 10am. As my wife was getting ready I sat at the desk and something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye, it was a dang roach. I freaked out and immediately told my wife. We shook every bit of our clothes out before packing them back in our bags and immediately left the hotel. I went to check out standing at the counter for over 5 minutes not seeing anyone, I was upset and felt discussing and decided just to leave asap. We got home and again checked all of our belongings of roaches, thankfully we didn't bring any home, hopefully. I D O NOT recommend staying here especially the price they ask for the room at $123 then charging a $55 charge for damage fee which were still waiting for that to be put back in our account, it's been 2 days. Very dissatisfied.
