Obviously with the price, this is a budget hotel. With that being said, the rooms are clean and nice--rooms are much nice than perhaps the outside looks. Staff is great and accommodating.

Was the dirtiest hotel room we have ever seen. If there were any hotels in a 30 mile radius available, we would have moved! The room also had a foul smell. The hallway, stairs, front desk area all looked unclean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The towels all had stains and/or holes. The pool didn’t look cleaned or maintained. The breakfast options were the same 4 days in a row and tasted horrible and they didn’t have much selection. There was no room service for 4 days and we never saw any room service our entire stay. Everything felt cheap and barely maintained/cleaned. The staff seemed put out when we asked for more towels and toilet paper.
