First room reeked of smoke, second of bleach. Many long-term tenants sitting around outside smoking cigarettes and weed. Roaches and cigarette butts in the (non smoking) room.

Great service, just an ok room.

We stayed overnight after my son was getting scuba certified in Rainbow River. The room was just ok. Was a bug in the sink, an old Sprite bottle under my bed and the shower arm in the shower is at around 4’9”. We felt like “Elf” taking a shower. The clerk did let us in the room early. She was super nice and gave us both a free bottle of water.

The pictures are not of the rooms current condition. Walls are painted teal green and the mini fridge was rusted. Checked in and decided not to stay here. The staff was very nice and refunded us our money. No comforter on the bed, box spring was dirty, kids running around the parking lot. - relatives of the manager, which live at the hotel.

Nasty even for the price

Only 1000 characters huh? Ok, I’ll try. Even for the low price of $99 per night is way too much. I should’ve gotten the hint when the manager had to explain how to use the two remotes for the TV and about the man out front with dementia and the other homeless people. I had driven for 26 hours and was exhausted and just wanted to sleep. The blankets had stains on them, the baseboard molding was pulled away from the wall. I was so tired I couldn’t pull myself to try and find another place. Needless to say I slept with my clothes on and never pulled the blankets down. The only plus was the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water (needed it to clean off anything that may have crawled on me). Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

I reported this hotel to the ADA , I had to be put in an ICU/CCU for 2 of my disabilities the whole stay, I ask Chris the manger could I stay to the morn of the 15th I already paid around $300 for the 11-14th. She said, “can’t do it, fully booked,”it would have allowed me with my disabilities and hospital stay and the fact the refrigerator gave way and I fell, to get my things together, I feel as a person with disabilities I was not treated equally as the other permanent residence, this room was booked with Expedia. Expedia explained why would they book over you like that knowing you may need late check out for something like could what happened did…. I sent a friend cause she has patients in that area to please ask Chris to put the DND sign on my door knob, she took it down after my friend left, Chris is very difficult to work with after my friend ldid it after about it and ,I paid Cash for the 11-14, I expedia booked through Expedia for the 11-14 and I just simply ask for an extra day to check out the manager Chris said no we are fully booked, which they do not honor. Their refrigerator unit in the room with a frozen bag of Ice fell on me, I did not even complain, I just ask for 1 extra day since when you I’ll with my disability even with my 20/

Beware! Our room was disgustingly filthy and we couldn't stay there. Bed had hair all over it and the chaise lounger chair had stains on it. Bathroom door had a hole punched in it. After inspecting our room we got a refund and left the property.
