Honest review.
It smelled bad, gym like, dusty, cigarette smoke as soon as I walked in. Furniture was beat up. Nothing matched in there. Paint of room was awful. There was a chair that had paint on it. TV didn’t work. Beds were not comfortable and sheets were not replaced. There was hair bugs and dirt. Restroom was bad. Don’t stay here. Front desk even said the owners don’t care. I didn’t even have time to take pictures. I just took my family out of there asap.

We reserved 2 rooms for our stay. One was bad, the other terrible. There was one light only, no trash can, the tv didn't work, the floor was so dirty, I had to use the bath mat to clean my feet before getting in the bed. The bed was hard and not made correctly. The bed skirt was on top of the mattress, then a bottom sheet, then a blanket, followed by the top sheet and coverlet. I had to remake the bed to sleep in it. There was very loud music playing outside on property speakers until at least midnight. I was happy I remembered to pack ear plugs "just in case". I do not expect perfection, but I do expect my room to be clean.

This was by far my worst accommodation experience of my life. Sheets and pillowcases covered in black scruff marks including a shoe print. Staff did give us fresh pillows but couldn't change the sheets. Blood on the comforter. Hair and stains on the towels. Sticky grime on the floor. Windows had no fly screen so the windows opened straight to the outside. Our friends stayed in two other rooms and had the same experience including a broken AC/heater unit and blood stains on their towels. We literally could not make this up if we tried.

The pictures are a total scam this place is literally trash. It looks NOTHING like the photos. The office manager has two small dogs tied up outside that bark constantly. The place is falling apart, and more than half the property its caution taped off including the pool area and amenities. Plumbing sucks, the inside of the room had broken furniture and things left behind from the previous occupants. NEVER AGAIN. The cleaning lady was really nice, that’s the only good thing I have to say.

Worst of the worst
Hotel prices in the area were outrageous so we knew we booked the most affordable stay we could find but this place was still $175 a night for a full size bed, old scratched mismatch furniture and unfinished bathroom remodels. The closest had no hangers and was missing a rod. The sheets where paper and the curtains where hanging on to a damage curtain rod. The WiFi didn’t reach our room and there was a green light on the ceiling that stayed on all night. This hotel should not be accepting reservations or at least charge under $100 a night.

Please do not book this hotel. I am not sure if the room we stayed in was fit for occupancy. The room had a terrible smell, and every piece of furniture was broken in some way. The floor had not been mopped in a very long time, it turned my white socks black within 5 minutes of walking around. The bathroom also had a foul smell of mold/mildew. The light fixture was falling out of the ceiling. On top of that, the bathroom had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. There was a busted tide pod in the sink, hair in the sink and tub, and footprints stained in dirt on the floor. Looking around the property you’ll see that a few rooms have already been condemned, but for some reason we saw people coming in and out who seemed to be living there permanently. Staff was nice though. We thought that maybe it was just our room in such a bad state, but me and my friends booked three and all of them were in similar condition.

Run away!!
I pulled up and checked into this hotel without looking at the entrance. The entrance literally had a condemned sign posted. I was given a key to the room and when I got into the room, it was absolutely horrendous. The Floor was filthy. The sink was broken, TV wouldn’t work and the only dresser in the place had stains and a chunk of wood removed from it. I left that hotel room within 15 minutes and went to the office and demanded a full refund so I could find a hotel better suited for my stay.

Would NOT recommend. shouldn’t have expected much considering it was a last minute and cheap option.. Upon arriving, we saw two hotel room doors with papers on the door saying “Condemned”. That was concerning, but we still gave it a chance. Once we went into our room we were instantly disappointed. The room was very dirty.. stains on the doors, hairs stuck on the wall, floors were dirty.. Walked into the bathroom and the sink wasn’t clean, bottom of toilet had hair and dirt all over it, and the ceiling above the shower had dead flies stuck to it. When we got in bed, we noticed there was a cigarette burn in the top blanket and the bottom “thicker” blanket had black smudges all over it.. We instantly threw them off of the bed and weren’t able to use them.. I decided to check the rest of the bed and noticed they didn’t even have a mattress cover on the mattress and it was ripping at the seams. We felt so uncomfortable in bed that we laid on top of our beach towels and slept without blankets. Again, I wasn’t expecting much as it was cheap and last minute, but this was the worst hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. It was extremely uncomfortable and using anything in the room made us feel uneasy. Better off paying the extra money for a nicer hotel elsewhere.
