We booked this hotel before the appearance of many negative reviews on Trip Advisor and another site. So I was very apprehensive before we arrived. Check-in went smoothly, the clerk honoring our request for a specific room location, and coming to our aid when we could not get the keys to open the door. We were able to park our... more

I'd booked my reservation for 2 nights through a search website at the last minute. Didn't have a chance to read any reviews. Big! big! mistake. The hotel was the worst I'd ever seen. It was old and smelly. It smells like something died in between the wall. The bathroom was dirty with stain and mold. We even saw cock... more

Older property but was clean and the front desk service was great! I booked my first night with expedia we stayed an extra night and will be back. The only bad thing was the bathtub it looked like they had put some type of coating on instead of replacing it. We have stayed at many places down here the mid... more

This hotel's business practices seem unethical. I made a reservation by accident on Cheaptickets thinking I was reserving a different hotel. However, when I found out where I was actually staying and saw the horrid reviews on Yelp, tripadvisor and yahoo (reporting mold on the walls, filthy rugs, bed bugs and vandalism in the parking lot), I decided to cancel... more

The unfortunate part about our stay here is that we booked on Expedia the day before and because we did so we could not get our money back and stay elsewhere. When my husband went to check in, the man before him was paying for hourly rates.... As a reviewer stated before, there were people yelling in the parking lot... more

Although I read the reviews about drug dealing in the parking lot and mold on the walls, I felt I could handle the less than stellar accomodations and still chose to stay at this hotel - guess I have learned my lesson. When I arrived at the facility It was as expected, the room smelled, the beds very uncomfortable, but... more

There must be a Jeckle and Hyde thing going on for some to love it and others to be grossed out. My family and I are very well travelled and this takes the disgusting cake. It was so bad that I washed everything when we returned. There was excessive mold and peeling paint on the walls in the bathroom, and... more
