The flooring was buckling and separated in some areas with signs of prior flooding. Not 5 minutes after sitting down we noticed a bug and when looking around the room (not moving anything) we noticed the roaches just crawling around. We left immediately as we had a small child with us. Staff seemed aware of the big problem.

The room was spotless, spacious, and the shower water was hot and soothing. The night manager at the front desk is also a really kind human. She cares about people because another guest needed jumper cable and she went out of her way to obtain one for the guest.

Room was terrible. Peeling wall paper, toilet leaking on floor, filthy carpeting. The floor was very soft in places like rotten under carpet. They claimed to have breakfast included, but we didn't check it out because the lobby was so tiny. The property was just run down. Very disappointed

When we arrived, even though the room looked like it had been cleaned, the restroom was still dirty with toilet paper still in the toilet, and no extra rolls near by. There was a bad smell in the room and the surrounding area.
