“Not as bad as warned”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2011

Reserved rooms at this hotel for family. Needed rooms for large group of people at reasonable rate. My husband talked with Andy,Manager prior to our checking into hotel about bad ratings online. He guaranteed us that rooms were not as bad as on line and if we were truely dissatified he would refund our money. We did not hear loud noise,our rooms were cleaned each day, and no bugs of any kind . For the price in this economy what can you expect? MYRA

“Great place if you're looking for some "company"”

I travel all over the country for work and have stayed in hundreds of hotels. This was the worst. Room was filthy. Dirt and dust bunnies everywhere. Paint peeling everywhere specifically in the bathroom. Bathroom had one full size towel that I'm sure has been washed and reused since 1975 because it was paper thing. Cigarette burns were on the edge of the bathtub. I had to bang on the TV every ten minutes to get it to work. There was some weird dead frog thing that sat on the walkway outside on the third floor for the whole 3 nights I was there. Unbelievable that nobody took the time to clean that up for days. I had two of my employees staying in two different rooms and there situations were both the same as mine but they didn't have to bang on their TV's to get them to work. One guy complained he Itched really bad after sleeping in the bed. One good thing about the hotel is now I know where to find dirty looking prostitutes if someday I become a dirty sleezy old man. Worst part about the hotel...the manager. This guy acted like he had given up on life and now hates his job with a passion. When I first arrived I talked to him and told him I own a marketing company and because of some new work in town I will be needing 3-5 rooms every week for the next two months at least. He told me to hold on and finished up a conversation he was having with his buddy on his cell phone. After about 5 minutes he just reaches over and hands me his card and told me to come back some other time to work something out. That hotel couldn't have been at more than 30% filled and I couldn't believe he didn't jump at the opportunity to fill more rooms. Then the next day I called for an Iron and Ironing board. He said I have to come down and get it which is fine, I didn't care. I get down there and he only has the Iron and he said they didn't have any boards. I kinda put up a stink because I NEED and Ironing board. I have wrinkled cloths and a meeting soon with a new client. He said ok and he will have one sent to my room in 5-10 min. Cool. 25mins go by...nothing. I call. "I'm very sorry sir. Give me 5-10 more mins". Fine. 30 mins later. I call again. Same thing, 5-10 more mins. 15 mins go by and I'm getting angry. I go out in the hall to see if there a housekeeper and I notice the storage door is cracked right across the hall from my room. I peek inside and there I find at least 20 Ironing boards. I grabbed one got cloths Ironed and was only 10 minutes late to my meeting, which was THE WHOLE REASON I WAS IN TOWN! All in all, worst hotel ever. I've been in third world countries that had better places to stay.

Hookers in-line to check in...Pool had something growing on the top, like some thick film stuff...only two broke lounge chairs by the pool...burn holes on everything in the NON SMOKING room...No towels until I asked and then they gave me two even though they knew there was four of us...we checked in at midnight but that didn't stop me from going back down to the desk and telling them we would be checking out around 7 am and not staying for the week like we reserved. He began to argue until I showed him the picks that were online and asked him where those rooms were...he then said " we give you refund in the morning"...lol...I didn't sleep a wink even though we drove for 14 hours...I was toooooo scared

“kennel my dogs stayed at was better”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

This has to be the worse hotel we've stayed at in years. Top of the list for terrible. Never seen housekeeping in 3 days. Dirty, moldy, an old ban-aid stuck to the wall. Carpet dirty, stained no tp in bathroom, towels like sandpaper. Phone didn't work. No coffee pot, iron ripped from the wall, no coat hangers bugs of some type in the room (bedbugs?) Fire alarm was beeping, not working, worker offered to take it out, rather than fix it. Gee thanks? A guy with needle tracks all up his arms hanging out in the lobby. Shady looking people hanging around outside the rooms and parking lot at all hours, doing drug deals. My dogs stayed at a nicer kennel than this hotel was we should stayed with them they had a nicer, cleaner, safer place than we had .
