Honestly our room was dirty to where I brought our own chemicals and cleaned the restrooms. The floor was dirty don’t worry I’ll show pictures the only thing I can say is it’s pet friendly and the bed was comfortable.
Bathroom floor has old urine
Shower had yellow gunk.
This was after wiping the floor of a freshly checked in room.

Went for a couples weekend with my wife. Location of property was fine, but the rooms look nothing like the pictures they post. Walls are paper thin, the furniture is old, the were repairs needed in the bath room. The desk clerk was fine at check in but the cost there are better places in the area. We frequent the area often and don't mind the smaller, older properties if they have been maintained but this was not the case, in spite of the misleading photos.
