The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel was very big and had a saloon and restaurant, however the restaurant was not open so we had to eat in the saloon which was ok. The outside area had no benches or tables to just sit and relax. Staff was extreemly helpful and let us check in early.

This property was a nightmare. It was mold inside of the bathrooms. The carpet looks like it never been cleaned. The curtains had blood stains on them. The beds were uncomfortable. The refrigerator had an odor. Mold on our room door look like someone tried to get in it.

The room smelled like mildew. I could see black stuff in the air conditioner vent. Our door that overlooked the pool was stuck and rusty. The tub was not the cleanest. The restaurant food was not good. My kids didn't eat their pulled pork sandwiches. We paid 697.08 for 2 nights. This was very over priced for the condition of the hotel and room. I will not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone.

This was possibly the worst hotel I've stayed in to date. The positive is the bed is comfortable. First, the room had a broken door that was damaged and wouldn't open or close properly and had missing screws in the hinges. The TV didn't work for two of my three day stay. They finally brought another small TV and set it on the desk for us to watch. The entire hotel smells like mold, damp and urine except for the actual room itself. Outside pool was closed. Indoor pool was hot and smelled horrible as well as the fitness center. This hotel should not be in business until it's remodeled.
