This property is in disrepair, pool is filthy and black, restaurant shut down and roof falling in, rooms are absolutely horrible with mold, bathroom stained, roaches in the tub, toilet not flushed, outlets not working and the smell...... Breakfast included was a joke. Coffee undrinkable and a sausage wrapped with a pancake was offered. This place needs to be shut down.

Do NOT stay here with children. Not worth whatever money you will save. The largely empty hotel gave me pause when checking in late at night as a mom with 2 kids for a middle school robotics tournament the next day. Room was very run down, but I optimistically told the kids it was better than camping. Pets are allowed, and I heard large dog barking in adjoining room on right. At 1 AM, I could smell someone in next room on left smoking some untold substance. At 2AM, parties in left room started their “romantic” evening with each other like there was no tomorrow, shaking bed and crying out at length; noises passed through thin walls easily. Then they turned on an adult movie loudly to add to the event. Dog in adjoining room to right barked along. I turned up ac as loud as possible (despite being January) to muffle noises and hope elementary son not wake up. I was afraid to leave and enter desolate parking lot at 2 AM and afraid to bang on wall of couple who I could tell from smell were doing some kind of drugs. Worst hotel experience with children ever. Would rather have gotten up at 5AM and just driven to Auburn rather than spend the night in this disaster. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

This s shelter and this property has totally deceived Expedia. This place should be shut down by the health department. I took pictures of this deplorable conditions of this place. The towels were dirty, the tub was nasty and the cleaning lady left the previous person’s soap on the side of the tub, Even the bag for the dirty clothes had stains on it. The two chairs in the room has filthy and totally worn out. The carpet had stains everywhere. They went to junk store and bought the furniture and lamps. The curtains had stains on it. The bed sheets was dirty with stains. The light on the bathroom has so much dirt and insects in it. The toilet paper holder was rusty and dirty, There was no stopper for the tub and the sink stopper was broken; did not go up at all. After all of this nasty mess, they had roaches. I had kill roaches, because I don’t want to bring any of them back home with me. I have several pictures to provide, because I don’t want anyone else to stay in these deplorable conditions. I use Expedia all of the time and this was the first time this has ever happened. Totally Disgusting
