Terrible Stay
I was very unhappy with my stay & I won't ever go back. No one took the time to check my room to see if it was ready & my t.v wasn't working nor was the phone. I was out of tissue. I had to look at 2 other rooms and I asked if I could get an discount since I wasn't staying in my original room. I was informed no, the next room wasn't better I was told that I could return to my original room day 2 but then we found bed bugs in the original room. I had to fight to get my full refund & find another hotel for my stay.

Shower curtain was hanging by one screw and dangling so I couldn’t close the curtain. Refrigerator had moldy food and old milk in it that had to of been there for weeks. Pool had recently cracked and leaked throughout the first floor and smelled from the carpets being drenched. There was still clothes and items under the bed from people prior to our visit. Top sheet on the bed had a hole from smoking and stains on it. It was disgusting the only thing besides Kelly who worked the front desk and was friendly and tried to accommodate as much as possible was the halfway decent pub inside the hotel. Food was mediocre but at least it was cleaner then the rest of the hotel.
