Really bad.

Super gross. Linens/towels pretty much all stained. Broken down structures. The first room they put us in AC was broken. Bad smell. Messy hallway. The actual housekeeper did a good job given the terrible situation they're working in.

NO WAY!

The pictures were deceiving. It appeared to be a decent hotel. A group of 7, we got 2 rooms. I walked into my room, the heat bursted out the door as soon as I opened it. Rich with the scent of dog urine. It’s pet friendly, but whoever had pets was not. They picked the feces off the floor but left whatever stuck to the carpet. I have never seen anything as disgusting. My mom came in. She ended up getting us about her room. It was even worse with the smell. We opened the windows hoping to air it out. We all rode in silence to get dinner. All in shock. As we came too we realized we are not that desperate to accept those conditions. We got back. I walked into my mom’s room and I was shocked at how disturbingly stained her carpet was. Not an area of the carpet was unstained. I’m not even exaggerating when I say we couldn’t even take our shoes off in there. Back to airing out the rooms it actually seemed worse. It was appalling. My mom’s room actually had blood on the wall and a used bar of soap in the bathroom. I don’t know what kind of operation they are running but hotels.com needs to take this off the site.

Had two rooms. One of the entry doors to our room was hard to shut, the door didn’t line up with the door jam so had to slam it shut just to close it. The toilet in one of the rooms was broken on the seat and you had to hold the handle to flush it. The shower did not drain well so you were standing in water to almost the calves with hardly any time being in the shower. There was mold, mildew under the air conditioner. Smelled like cigarette smoke in the lobby although it is a smoke free place.
