I would never recommend this place to anyone, had to stay because every other hotel was booked. Terrible service, when we told front desk staff that the room was dirty and the chairs were halfway broken she told us “oh okay I’ll have the Mexicans go and do it”. Which they never did, had to go to Walmart to purchase towels because all there towels were dirty and when we asked for new clean ones they did not have any at all. They stopped answering are calls when we had a problem or we found something wrong with the room, half the lights didn’t work. They said the area we got was non smoking but people were smoking marijuana. I would love to get a complete refund because the experience was overall terrible and I hope no one ever stays there. Also there was another visitor staying and she was yelling at the staff because they stole her beers, which made us believe they stole our stuff as well. DO NOT DTAY HERE!

The front desk has a nasty attitude so if you even ask her to replace your car because it is an active she will get an attitude. I extended my stay due to Hurricane Helen and a front desk elderly woman stated because you stayed pass three days we will not clean your room. The gym lights don't work so you work out in the dark and the breakfast area only has one lamp. So everything in the breakfast room is basically eating in the dark. So please don't stay here.

No one was even at the front desk for much of the time after I arrived, which was about an hour early; finally left and came back at check-in time, and she still wasn't at the desk. Tried calling a few times, but no one answered. Took over 20 minutes to get me checked in; staff/owner kept complaining about slow system, walking back and forth between PC monitors; had the nerve to take a phone call while I had been waiting too long already. Bathroom had a hole in the wall; exterior steps in need of repair; the door had a crack at the bottom when closed

I have stayed at this hotel in the past and it was very nice, clean and nice place to stay. This time was the total opposite with the new owners/management they were rude, there was mold spores on the chairs, TV remote not working, my shower wasn't working properly. I told them that the shower wasn't working and they wouldn't move me to a different room after I asked to be moved. I was told by the owner no they didn't have available rooms and the other desk clerk told me yes. They were supposed to send their maintenance guy to fix and they never came to fix it. When I confronted them the following morning when I went to check out the owner got very nasty with me about it. She told me, "Well if you were so unhappy with your stay you could have came and asked for a refund and I would have gave you your money back. I don't need your money and I would give you a full refund." I told her ma'am we are in a state of emergency due to the hurricane and I can't go home because I don't have any lights or running water and I have kids. She told me that is not my problem and that she doesn't need my money. That was uncalled for considering no one had lights or running water due to the hurricane and everyone was seeking shelter. I also witnessed them being rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate to everyone. Please DO NOT stay at this hotel unless it is a last result.

I went to this property to stay over it’s for a wedding I was attending. My room was filthy. The bedspread had holes in it, the white sheets were gray ( they should have been white) the towels in the bathroom were dirty and one looked like it had a booger on it. When I asked the front desk for a clean room. The man at the desk got mad and said I need to stay at the Hampton refunding my money. I have never cared if a property was old I just want clean. This place is far from clean and the male older man has a nasty attitude.

I'm staying here for a few days because of the low price and was fooled by the pictures. The pictures that are here when you look up this location most are not from here. They look nice with great dining, pool, & rooms. But that's not the case. Ran down dining with no breakfast, pool area needs work, no security, rooms need lot of work and cleaning to bring them back up to par. If you're just looking for a cheap room to get off the road and don't care about good conditions, it is for you.... I wasn't going to add more until one of the managers came banging on my room door last night, wanting me to leave and take down my review because they saw this review...I would like to take away all the 1 stars I gave and put 0 stars on here
