Dirty and moldy bathroom

Reviewed By Jade G

The room was unclean and there was a ton of mold in the bathroom. We found a dead spider in the sheets. There weren’t many towels in the room and not many complementary toiletries. I honestly would have paid more to get a cleaner space.

The staff greeted us immediately upon arrival. The check in process was quick and the girl at the counter was helpful with tips about nearby attractions. The location is perfect if you want to float any of the nearby rivers

Disgusting

Reviewed By txagg01

The room was dirty just plain dirty, when the ice bucket was moved there was a part of someones hair piece, absolutely disgusting Obviously the cleaners hadn’t moved the bucket to clean. I had to wipe down all the counters and surfaces with disinfectant wipes and lysol and the wipes were filthy afterwards. The vent in the bathroom was hanging off the ceiling, the shower was full of mold. The gentleman at the front desk at check in was nice however he went off shift shortly after check in. I tried calling the front desk that night and no answer. Upon check out there was nobody at the front desk. I waited for a bit and still nobody showed up. I left a note and the room key and left. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay there, the place needs a thorough clean and update.

Bed, shower, and overall room was clean and comfortable. Missing smoke detector was exposed wires. No markings on AC to control heat or air. Holes in sheets and towels. No breakfast as advertised just poor quality packaged pastries and water down orange drink. Can’t use AARP on Fridays or Saturdays only during the week day. Overall for the purpose we were there to see a high school playoff it worked for us just wish we could’ve had breakfast As advertised included in the price of the room. I would possibly stay there again in the future if the price was reasonable. Which it was that Friday night which is one of the reasons I chose it and because it included breakfast.
