Rooms were not cleaned in days specially the bathroom floors (I end up cleaning the floor with a few wet towels), sheets were changed and the beds were comfortable, staff were friendly, but they could do so much.

I was there just for the night and then leaving at 4:00 a.m. The next morning. When I got up and went into the shower there was no hot water. When I went to the sink there was no hot water at all. I wasn't able to take a shower and had to clean myself with a hand towel because it was not as cold as the water coming out of the pipes. I was very upset that I rented a room needing sleep and a shower and only got sleep.

The room was disgusting, bathroom and shower were filthy, the shower is built for people under 5ft tall. The windows were paper thin, and did not secure properly. In the peep hole we had to put a napkin in, since it allowed the exterior to see in. There are a lot of things I can say, but don't have the space here. Short answer, that was our first and last time there. Disgusting is all I can say

The room was quiet; however, this is a two rating because the floors, especially around the bath tub was dirty. I had to look for the plug for the microwave, because it had been unplugged. There was nothing for the guests. No coffee even, that most guests would expect. He just looked at me and said they did not have anything, and said \"Sorry\" They were nice, but they need a professional to walk the rooms and get them back on track. I had to find the maintenance man to figure out how to turn on the TV, because someone previously had changed the normal settings, so that could probably play games on the TV. These things should always be checked before a new guest goes in the rooms.
Thank you for reading my message. Hopefully this will help.

Got in trouble for having too many people in my room. After management warned me I kicked everyone out and everything was fine. The manager still proceeded to shame me again in the parking lot in front of all the other people staying. He said my actions cause discomfort with the other people staying but somehow him yelling at me didn't it? The stay was very affordable tho! Very dirty room, holes on the carpet, mold in the fridge and rust in the bathroom.

We did not explore as we just wanted to rest though did try the Mexican food it was good.

The floor was filthy.My wife told the maid and she just looked at her and walked away. The bathroom door was filthy and covered in mold. Didn't bother to say anything since they didn't seem to care about the floor. We booked the room for 3 days and were not offered cleaning or fresh towels once while we were there. The first night my wife asked for an extra blanket and an extra pillow and was told they don't have them. Had I not payed for 3 nights in advance, I would have left after the first night.

Worst experience I have ever had at an hotel. Staff was rude , people sleeping in their cars outside your room in the parking lot and ask to use your shower. There were piles of garbage outside the door of the room. The office manager/owner called yelling at me a day before I was scheduled to check out asking where I was cause it was past check out time. I would avoid this place at all cost!!!!! Prices were cheap but still will never go back

Absolutely TERRIBLE experience! First of all, check in took almost 40 minutes due to there being limited staff on site. Second, for some reason they thought it was okay to use a blower or extremely loud tree trimmer at midnight! This unnecessary \"yard work\" went on at least until 1 am. I tried calling the front desk several times to report it but no one ever answered and it only gave the busy signal.

Third, there were limited working outlets in the room and even OPEN electrical outlets which is a huge safety hazard. There were only two lamps in the room and one of them was missing a light bulb. There was no trash can at all in the room. Pillows had the stuffing falling apart so not comfortable at all. Extremely worn down room. DO NOT stay here if you have another choice.
