Overall we were happy with our stay.
But I did find it strange and inconvenient that we had to leave a $50 cash deposit upon checking in and had to have a room inspection before checking out to get the deposit back.

Room was dirty, I did not want to take my shoes off. The lobby was extremely hot and person at desk spoke limited English. There is no airport shuttle as advertised. The area was sketchy with working women out and about. Awkward full sized fridge in room. The Breakfast that was offered, was dry cereal and water.

Attendant asked for a fifty dollar cash deposit... not cc... he was upset when I asked for a receipt for the cash, so he hand wrote it on my receipt from expedia... the door to the room had a lock above the handle because the handle lock did not work. The room was not swept. There was gaps in the door.
And the bathroom tile floor was cracked and broken walls needed to be painted quickly... breakfast was a box of cereal you had to ask for a bowl and milk and coffee was cold... honestly seemed like a pay by hour hotel.. I have never stayed in one like this ever... i would have never taken my children to a place like this.. ferrell cat herd roaming the area living under stairs.. non smoking room definitely smoked in... people fighting in parking lot. Felt nervous all night did not sleep...

It was super dirty with a bad smell in the room, the sheets were dirty. I asked for my money to be refunded and I am still waiting for a response. I really did not like it at all.

One of the worst properties I’ve ever stayed at honestly … service is bad … breakfast is bad … room was bad … the room I stayed at (103) had plugs hanging out the walls , cabinets were broken … doors were Al colored on with random paint and there was a fruit fly infestation I told the guy who was in the front desk if I could change rooms and he denied and was also so unprofessional and kept saying the rooms didn’t have bugs even though I showed him…
