DO NOT STAY HERE!
The cleaning staff was good, but the room was outdated, the shower floor was not stable and felt like you might fall though. I prepaid for 10 of my room and was called back to my office. I expected a refund or a the least a cedit for returning at a future date but was denied ANY refund or credit by ownership. Stay away from this place!!

Cockroaches & Weed - Don't stay here!
The minute I walked into the room and closed the door, there must have been 4-5 little roaches that I saw on the door inside the room. I probably killed 10 roaches in the room and could hardly sleep thinking more were crawling around. I would never stay here again. There were roaches on the toilet, on the vanity/sink area as well as crawling in other places in the room. When I went to check in, I had to walk the property to find someone that worked there - this took around 25 minutes. Finally saw someone, but didn't know the guy worked there, but he was walking around the property smoking weed. He had trouble getting me checked in so he called a manager who came to the front and the smell of weed from her was very strong. I wasn't expecting much from this hotel, but it was seriously the dirtiest most disgusting stay i've ever had in my life and would not recommend this place to anyone

The hotel was very dated and in need of major renovations. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a good value and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Avoid at all cost
The website showed to have a swimming pool and on-site bar and the bar had been shut down for months and the pool was green and nasty. The floors were dirty and bugs were everywhere. It was so bad I had to leave and go to another hotel and the owner of the hotel told me too bad and would not refund me the last two days I had already paid for, and he was not nice about it

The property is older and needs some repairs to be made. The pool is completely unusable. For one night this place would be okay but I would not recommend anyone stay here for more than one night.
