Avoid this Dump!

I would avoid this property and pay the extra $50 to stay in All Seasons. Very poorly maintained property, the “breakfast “ consisted of coffee and some cheap sweets. A real dump, not worth $131/night
Breakfast. Really?

The staff at check-in was wonderful, but this property should not be listed on Orbitz. It was a very rundown motel that felt more like it rented rooms by the month. It had the bare minimum but honestly did not feel either safe or comfortable. I don't think anyone booking online would feel satisfied with this location.

Bed spread, sheets, pillow cases and towels were stained. Way over priced for the outdated motel. Oatmeal snack for breakfast. It would be my last choice but you will be able to get some sleep.

It was ok for a one night stay. The guys at the front desk were friendly and nice. Take your own soap because the soap was terrible. The "breakfast" consisted of packaged danishes.

We got to the hotel late. When we got to our room, it was in terrible condition. The toilet and bathroom wall was literally covered in sh! . When I showed the picture to the guy at the front desk, he was very apologetic. I would have left, be we found out there were absolutely zero rooms anywhere around Gaylord for 50 miles, that's why we ended up here. The carpets were filthy, dead bugs/wasps in the windows. Run from this place. If i hadn't had kids with me, i would have slept in my car.
