I don’t ever trust the photos, but these ones are so far off from the actual it’s almost fiction. That said, no bed bugs or pests but all in all not clean or well kept. The owners stated they just bought this place and had plans to upgrade and clean up. For the price point though it’s not good value for the money. The owner is super nice and I do hope they upgrade and clean up. I wouldn’t stay there again unless it was upgraded.

The property does not look as nice as the photos. The pool was dirty, there were cigarette burns in the blanket that had been sewn closed. When we requested a new blanket, it arrived in the same condition as the first one. The bathroom was unkept and we had to ask for a microwave. There is no coffee or tea station. Upon trying to check out after 8am, we couldn’t reach anyone. There was a had written sign to ring the bell but the bell was just a broken piece of plastic. There was a phone by the office and in the room. Tried to call 0 to reach someone and it rang busy. Ended up having to leave the key in the room with the maid service sign on the door. The staff were kind but it’s not somewhere I would stay again unless desperate.

The owner was very nice and welcoming. The overall property was pretty run down on the exterior. My room was clean and in decent repair. The cable didn’t appear to work on our television. We didn’t bother making an issue of it. The beds were pretty saggy. It was quiet. I don’t think I would return but the experience wasn’t terrible and the price was very low compared to other hotels in the area.

This hotel looks nothing like the pictures. I have never stayed in a place this cheap before... The main picture is when the place opened it is not what the place looks like now... Half of their rooms are remodeled and the other half is sooooo shady and has holes and poo stains on the floor... I was lucky to complain and got a better room but, what?... It was a place to rest my head and sleep at night.. but once daylight hit i was out and about... I do not recommend this place to anyone who can find a better place to stay... DO IT! again Pictures are not up to date!

The property is dated. It looks like something out of 1960. Old beds, old furniture. Dated bathrooms. One of the pools was drained. Not that I went there to use the pool. I did not interact with any of the staff so I could not rate it. Only when signing in and I think it was the owner. For approximately $200/night, I respected more. I even used up my travel credit.
