“Too many errors”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I guess any single mistake is acceptable, but just too many things wrong with this place. I guess if your standards are low, it would be hard to beat the price and get the same. Here is what went wrong:

- Air conditioning didn't work. With 100+ weather, this is not okay. But that wasn't even the real problem. The real problem was when I mentioned it to the front desk, he tried to turn it around on me! He said, "well, you requested a first floor room. I had a air-conditioned room all picked out for you until you said that." Yeah, right.

- Wireless internet about 1.5 times the speed of dialup. In the year 2010?

- The ad says "Breakfast included" but doesn't mention that they only provide it on request. I think they count on you being in a hurry in the morning and won't ask. That is just not good enough. I was wondering when it would start and finally asked at 7:15. If I didn't ask, they would have just not served it at all.

“Absolutely Disgusting”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here because it was late, we couldn't drive anymore & it was easy to get to. Easy to get to was the only good thing about it. The carpet looked like it had not been vacuumed in months with "mystery" brown blobs on the carpet. Had to clean up all the hair on the bathroom floor to even be able to go in & use it. The shower, sink, toilet & sheets appeared clean so we stayed only because we were exhausted.

Cops showed up a couple of times at other rooms. Has a refridgerator & microwave that were not plugged in & would have to be moved a couple of feet to even reach the outlet. Inside of fridge was rusted out. Tables were sticky & had to be washed off.

Put towels down on the bathroom floor & never walked on the carpet without shoes on. Looked like a room that may have been rented by the hour instead of by the night. DISGUSTING. Never so happy to leave a place. Told the desk clerk about our room the next morning, he just kept saying yep when told about the disgusting carpet & floors but never even asked which room we stayed in. Never again, make sure you have had a tetanus shot!

“The Manasger, Donald, made the difference!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2008

My husband and I paid for 6 nights, but were only able to stay one night. When the manager was told, he, immediately wanted to refund our money. Unfortunately my account had been locked due to suspicion of fraud.

Donald actually mailed us a check.---- In a world where seniors are often scamed, it's wonderful to meet a man of interity, such as he.

I enjoyed swimming in the pool, and the Mexican Restaurant next door was great----staff and food.

Stayed June 2007

“Not terrible”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2008

After attempting to stay at the Vagabond which was a total DUMP (so bad that we opened the door and said NO WAY!) this was at least quiet and half way decent.
We wanted a smoking room so that smell wasnt too bad but there was a smell from the fridge.
It's okay and I might stay there again. You get what you pay for!
