I thought I was getting a good place for my family, because it wasn't the cheapest and it was near a Costco, but boy was I wrong. This place is a creepy, weird, dirty, place that could have been the set for a horror film. It looks like an abandoned haunted hotel from the 70's. Cheap paint jobs with splattered paint everywhere, unmoved grass, construction material outside, broken window, the smell of cigarettes everywhere, what else can I say, the carpet was torn and stained...I could go on and on. Just stay away! Trust me! Anything, but this place.

No water pressure, room has a hot water line hanging out of the wall , right by the bed with a 4” drain line. Property was not well maintained. Had a bad odor. And the biggest thing no breakfast as advertised. Don’t waste your money staying. Spend the extra $30 somewhere else.

I realize they are under new management and trying to renovate. But basic cleanliness was missing. There were fresh linens in our room, but otherwise it was obvious that it hadn’t been cleaned. Dead bugs and dirt on the floor, the toilet bowl still had things stuck to it from the last guests. No soap, single roll of toilet paper was almost empty, and shower curtain was moldy. Again, I understand renovation messes, but this went beyond that
