    Disappointing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    They do not have a pool and have not for a long time yet they still advertise it. The television gets like 6 channels. Was inexpensive.

    They didn’t have one. The room only had one working light in the main room and the walls was not in good shape and there was no shower curtain.

    The man who supervised the place he couldn't understand or hear him half of the time also we checked out the room before we stayed because the place looked shabby on the outside and inside. Went into the room peeled back the sheets and there was dirt and dead bugs in the bed there were footprints on the floor like someone had been in the pool. We asked about the pool he said well you can go there if you want but there's no pool so we didn't understand that the place smelled and everything just seems so dirty. I demanded my money back and we did not stay there.

    Yikes. We stayed at this hotel because it was close to the casino and the reviews were ok. I was unable to get ice out of the ice machine. There was small pieces of trash in the hallway. It was obvious it was never vacuumed. There was a stench in the entire property and the lobby was used as a storage area with large boxes. Undesirables in the hallway and parking lot. Small uncomfortable bed and pillows. My friend was unable to lock his 1st floor window, we had to use an ice scraper to prevent the window from being opened from the outside. No breakfast and they do not have a casino shuttle as they advertise. The bathroom is very small and the towels were old and stained. Stay away
