What I liked is every time I come I like cause it's quite peaceful ground floor . The price is good . Close to fishing and other places . What I didn't like this time was the TV went out the first night the person came to fix it then it went out after 10 minutes . Went back to say hey tv out again . They said they wouldn't fix it till next day so that whole night was boring without tv. Went to sleep early .they did come the next morning but it was to fix it but . . But I will come and stay here again. TV going out won't stop me coming back to this place .

DON’T BE FOOLED
I must say I had reservations on booking here when I saw the picture of the hotel itself. But the picture of the room and the reviews I saw made me go against my initial thoughts and I booked a room. Well let’s say I should’ve stuck with my initial thoughts. My room was nothing like pictured. I walked in to a room that was dark and extremely hot because they did not have the AC on during 100• temps. By dark I mean not inviting as the pictures suggest. Even with lights on and blinds open it did no justice. The paint was very old and covered in dust. The sink leaked from pipe when water was on. The toilet would not flush properly. The bedding was old and damaged. The only thing I would say was good about this place was the pillows and location. If it wasn’t for it being non refundable and my money being short I would’ve found somewhere else to go as soon as I opened the door. I’m assuming the other rooms were better than mine to see 7.0 reviews. There’s no way room #29 would get a 1.

This place was okay. I have had way worse in the past so this place wasn't too bad. The only thing I have to say is, we never got the password to the wifi so we did not get access to that. Then there was a big wolf spider in the bathtub, which of course made the wife jump. I had to kill it. The AC's could use major cleaning or a replacement. I work in a lot of AC units and windoe units. The AC units they have has a lot of mold in it which does make the air a bit toxic to breth in. Especially for the people who are allergic.

The hotel is old, the door didnt close right, you could see outside. We tried to eat at the table and roaches came out. Property was unsafe, i was worried about my vehicle all night. People coming in and out all night. We felt very unsafe. Old and raunchy place, dont recommended staying there.
