The cleanliness the room I booked was beyond subpar. When I refused to accept the room and demanded a refund I was ushered aside and told one wouldn't be given. There were an estimated 10 irrate couples in my same predicament. I believe this was done in malice, as no customer service was provided.

I stayed there from July 3, 2026, to July 5, 2026. The hotel and hallways were quite unsanitary and had an unpleasant odor, just like the rooms. Towels and toiletries were very scarce—only a roll of used toilet paper was provided, along with a single bar of soap. The TV remote was broken at the bottom, and the internet connection was terrible.

The room for the most part was clean but the hallways were dark and dirty. Had to carry luggage up flight of stairs to the second floor. No elevator. The young lady at front desk wasn’t very informative and the front desk area was shabby and had dirty towels laying in the waiting area on the floor. The smoke alarm had been taken down from the wall. Lamp in the room didnt work and was broken. The best thing about the room was the tv on the wall. Know why the room was much cheaper than others in the area.

The property has not been cared for. The area isn't the best area to stay in. I had booked for my daughters and grandkids and we ended up not staying. Wasn't offered any kind of refund. It was very dirty and the people hanging out drinking and smoking (not cigarettes). Felt unsave and the door to the rooms looked like it had been broken into. I would not recommend this place. The picture on the website does not match the property.

As I was waiting for the desk clerk to finish the check-in process, I noticed on the wall a health inspection results notice that gave the facility a 71.9 rating. I pondered for a short time what could possible be the reason for a low grade in an establishment that did not serve food (no continental breakfast here) and no beverage amenities in the room. Well, upon entering my assigned room, it became obvious why that rating had been given. Sitting in the middle of the room on the floor was my welcoming party - a big roach.

Good points - air conditioner and TV worked properly.

Debatable points - shower had a rain attachment but the water pressure is not sufficient to make it rain - more like a light sprinkle.

Negative points - no amenities that one would normally associate with temporary lodging nowadays. No coffee maker in the room. No breakfast offering of any kind.

Full disclosure - I was travelling alone and looking for a simple inexpensive place to sleep, shower & shave for an overnight stay. This facility met the simple & inexpensive criteria but I would not recommend it to anyone. Plenty of other options available close by.

We were traveling to Cherry Point for the airshow the next day. We booked this hotel given it was pretty close to the base when the show was to be held. When we arrived, we saw the C grade sanitation rating at the front desk. The issue was we had driven 3 hours out there and all the other hotels were booked.

When we got to our room, it had clearly been heavily smoked in and it had a single king bed. We had requested a room with two double beds given our young kids were with us. The hotel staff were doing their best with what they had but this is definitely a \"Last Resort\" hotel.

Window sill flaking, needed paint. Sanitary grade by check in was a 71. No hairdryer and the tv had bad reception. brackets for the hanging closet were coming off their hinges. The people at the reception acted like they didn't know what to do. Especially when we had a confirmed reservation and our room was given away. This place should be condemned.

We just needed a place to stay that was inexpensive and not on the street. The guy who checked us in was really friendly, that was a plus. Another plus is that they have showers at this hotel instead of bath tubs. They also have outlets in the wall so that you don't have to bend over to plug anything in. That's really nice. The cons are typical - if you are looking for \"pretty,\" this ain't it. This place served us in the way that we needed at the time. We had a bit of an emergency and it was perfect for that. Oh, and no breakfast, you'll have to get your own. It was fine in this case since we checked out too early for that anyway. This hotel is great for a quick place to stay. If you are not picky about appearances then this will be all right for you too.

First when i arrived inside my hotel room i noticed that the entrance door had a gap from the floor to the end of the actual door. So as im sleeping i can see people shoes walk back and forth from outside my room. The walls were thin as well you can hear the entire converstation happening between the two rooms that your in between. The mattress was the worst part, the sheets had stains on them, the pillows were a brown color underneath the pillow case, the carpet was not swept upon arrival, lots of dirt and little pieces on the floor. The shower had multiple stains so did the toleit seat. And there were roaches on the bathroom sink counter. I understand people cant affrord rent and its hard out there but no one should have to live in those type of environments and still have the pay the full rate of a night. This has been the worse hotel experience ive ever had, i honestly didnt care for my money back i just had to leave because it was impossible to stay in.

The property was local to our plans while traveling. After looking thru the pictures of the property that seemed to have just been remodeled. We arrived to see the building was a little worn on the exterior which is no big deal. Entering the rooms ( we booked 2) the 1st one the ceiling was peeling down and cracked, the smoke detector was missing with wires hanging out the bathroom had black mold all over the ceiling above the shower. The second room was worse the ceiling over the beds was peeling to the point of falling off the bathroom again had black mold all over the ceiling and there seemed to be a outlet of some sort next to the door that was removed never reinstalled so it was a hole with exposed wires. Both rooms for some reason were missing the secondary latch lock not as if there were none but the peg on both rooms were gone. It was unsanitary, and extremely unsafe especially with 4 children. Being a holiday weekend all other local hotels were booked so we had to keep the rooms.

Where do I begin? For starters nothing mentioned about a $50 deposit required by the owners. There were cockroaches that didn't even run when the lights were turned on. These were not the typical palmetto bug that you find down south, but German cockroaches that confirm just how dirty a place is. I went to swipe my key card and swore I saw a cockroach run to the door frame, but couldn't really tell because the hallway was so dimly light. After 11pm the hallway lights came on and shown through the large gaps around the door. The room itself had an odor as if the carpet had been wet, but never really dried out fully. Access to the building through side doors was not secure at any hour, no key card access, unlocked doors into the guest areas. I would never stay again, even if I was paid to.

This was one of the worst hotels I’ve ever seen in my whole life. It’s Fourth of July & my bday weekend.. many hotels were already booked up. As soon as I pulled in I felt skeptical about leaving my car.. screens were punched out & overall just a sketchy environment.. then I walked in the building. Instantly there was a disgusting smell as I went to check in. Walking to my room the smell got stronger, food and stains up and down the hall way.. the doors were open to the supply/laundry rooms and I already knew that there was no way my bed would be clean. Once I walked into the room I instantly started to cry. Burn holes & other stains all over the bed.. crumbs everywhere.. I couldn’t even sit down. Looking in the bathroom there were stains & hair everywhere. I felt dirty just standing in the room. I left right away & will be attempting to get a refund. Do not let these pictures fool you.. let alone $100 a night?! The audacity.
