Decent affordable hotel

I got a room because the AC was out in my apartment. I mentioned that to the rude staff and said I was excited for a cool room. The room I was given was over 90 degrees, smelled like smoke and stale air. The bed was like sleeping on a sheet laying over concrete. Hands down one of the worst hotel stays.

There where roaches on the bed! And I have still yet to get refunded

Stayed here for an inexpensive place while horseshowing. Room was very dated but clean. Pool wasn’t not open. Close to food and horse show grounds.

First room smelled strongly of stale air and cigarettes. There was a bottle of water on the floor by the bed and cigarette ashes on the shelf (both from the previous guest). Dried white stains and holes on bedding. The room was humid so the bed was moist. Stains on the chair and couch. Very large red stain on floor. The tv was broken. It was utterly disgusting and was probably rented by the hour normally. The smell of marijuana was everywhere outside. We went to the front office and the guy there had holes in his shirt and was completely uninterested. I called Expedia to get a refund; no refund but was offered a new room. Gloria, one of the housekeepers was very kinda and This room was still extremely run down, but so much cleaner and better kept.

I had an amazing stay.

The stay was excellent

Very comfortable bed!!

So im doing a combined review... i stayed at this hotel end of february 2020 andwas decently pleased. Room seemed tidy, clean, and livable. Norhing crazy but did not have a moldy bathroom, bed was clean, etc. We were in the back building rather than the main one, but it was good. Now the disappointing part to this stay was they were having the roof redone and rather that telling us this prior to arrival they just told us "i hope you were planning on being up early". Now it didnt terrible affect our stay but it was inconvenient as the parking lot was crowded and already small. Now i was returning end of March 2020 and decided to give it a 2nd chance since the room seemed decent and the roof was done. I booke the room, this time we were in the main building. The stay started with our key not working so we had to go back to the front for a new one, no biggie. But when we walked in it smelled like weed and stale cigarettes. There was stains on the couch and floor. The bed was clean. The bathroom was awful. The ceiling was covered in mold and the wall was peeling and moldy. Room service cleaned after the first night and left us towels, one of which was wet and dirty that had black stuff on it. Sadly the first trip wasnt bad but the 2nd one will make me not return. Im not one to pick on hotels (and ive stayed in some pretty dirty places) but it only takes 1 bad stay to change your mind. I will not stay again... it needs some updating and thorough cleaning. I hope this helps.

Wonderful
