Bad
I'm staying here for a few days because of the low price and was fooled by the pictures. The pictures that are here when you look up this location most are not from here. They look nice with great dining, pool, & rooms. But that's not the case. Ran down dining with no breakfast, pool area needs work, no security, rooms need lot of work and cleaning to bring them back up to par. If you're just looking for a cheap room to get off the road and don't care about good conditions, it is for you.... I wasn't going to add more until one of the managers came banging on my room door last night, wanting me to leave and take down my review because they saw this review...I would like to take away all the 1 stars I gave and put 0 stars on here

Check in was at 3 we arrived at 3:30 and no one was at the front desk we waiting 20 minutes and no one came we called the number on the sign 3 times first two times someone answered and hung up then the third time person final spoke and had an attitude that I was calling to see where anyone was so we could check in. Room was disgustingly dirty, no toilet paper or towels. Carpet looked like it’s never been vacuumed and sheets had black marks all over with blood stains. Toilet was dirty mold all in the bathroom all over shower curtain and what looked like urine and blood on the walls. Run away do not stay here

Well the time I spent was okay. The bathroom had a smell of mold really strong one. Most of what I did not like was the staff rude Mexican lady. I moved out the room early and sat outside with my things that I just couldn’t fit in the car. Waited for a friend to come. Not taking up space just a parking spot. She calls my phone and says “ why is your junk still here” I tell her it’s not junk that I’m leaving now. She said “ I’m going to charge you for staying over” I wasn’t even I. Th e room never went back after checking out. Then I left got a few bag went to a near my store. Came back just to make sure I won’t be charged seeing as I wasn’t in the room. She was so rude called me a liar and yelled at me. Poor service at its finest. But they ended up giving me my deposit. But crappy people.

Foreign splatter on bathroom wall. Sink was plugged up. Rug was not vacuumed. Bar soap remnant left in drain from previous guest. Bathroom door was severely paint chipped. It was also water damaged and wood was delaminating. Two dirty floss picks left at nightstand. While on bedspread. Guest seat had gross stain on it. TV didn’t work. Morning breakfast bar was a joke. No fresh food. Cereal hadn’t been refreshed. Condiments were mostly empty. I wouldn’t let my dog finish what was left. Orbits rated this 3-1/2 stars but I rate it a zero. I checked out and went somewhere else. I hope I can get a refund for the last night I didn’t stay. That is if anyone reads this review.

This was so gross we took one step in the room and walked right back out and booked a room at another hotel. It reeked of smoke which was not ok since I requested a non smoking room due to my daughter having chronic lung disease, the beds appeared dirty, and there was a roach crawling on the side table. Staff also informed us there was no hot water. We told them we wanted a refund due to the conditions and that we would not be staying there. Still have not received any money back and this was 3 weeks ago. Do not stay here!

I booked this hotel expecting the basics. The first room I was in had mould all over the wall next to the closet, the Tv didn’t work and when I tried to phone the front desk the phone wouldn’t work either and there was someone’s leftover takeout in the fridge. The gentleman at the front was very polite and apologetic and switched me rooms. The next room the TV did not work and there was one pillow with black stains on it. I tried to shower but the water was luke warm at best. The next morning the woman at the counter stated that they were having problems with a lot of the TVs and that to get hot water we should have let it run for 10 minutes first. Very unfortunate.

Horrible experience the ONE staff person they have is the rudest nastiest person I have ever dealt with. Not only did she just walk into my room whenever she felt like it I wasn't given towels or tissue or a vacuum for the entire month I was there . I don't understand how choice allows her to work for them. I'm not the only one who had issues with her.she had me in tears several times. Choice do better get rid of that miserable woman!±

DO NOT stay here. We arrived 11pm after driving the entire day, had booked 2 rooms for a family of 7. Check-in was easy. Soon after we entered our 1st-floor rooms, my son came running from his room - he pulled back the sheets and found 2 spiders in the bed. We then checked our beds and there were also spiders, including a web behind one pillow against the headboard! Spiders were found nearly everywhere!! Skinny little things but still. We packed back up, complained, and were given 2 new rooms on the 2nd floor. [While we waited, a couple was also given a new room, no idea why. After we were serviced, the man behind us complained that there was no water.] We inspected carefully and didn't find spiders so we agreed to stay since it was so late. My son realized he didn't have water with him and went to the vending machine - he selected water and was given an expired Fanta - the office exchanged it for water. After we settled and were about to go to bed, my son texted a photo of a roach on the lamp beside his bed. At this point we were so exhausted and it was after midnight so I told him and all to check for bugs once more before going to bed, all food in fridge, etc. and we slept without known issue. In the morning we saw that the towel across the tub was heavily stained, and the towels on the rack were completely worn with holes. We decided to just leave and be done with this place. Bought our own breakfast. Check recent reviews not just the rating - lesson learned!

It takes a lot to annoy a USMC veteran
Where do I start? The first issue I had was check-in. I sat in the lobby for about 25 minutes before anybody came to the check-in desk. The first room I received was utterly unsanitary. It was filled with flies and it smelled like old cigarettes. I requested another Room, I was moved to a different level of the establishment. The new room was slightly better, but I noticed dead bugs on the walls. I was only in town for one night so I gave the room the old college try,before turning into Sleep I noticed a roach run across the adjacent bed! It was late, so I didn’t even change out of my clothes and I tried to go to sleep unfortunately, I wasn’t able to sleep comfortably and could not wait until daybreak to leave that establishment as fast as I could. and I will most definitely never stay at one of those accommodations ever again!
The bed with roaches
The hotel door had a gap of about 1/4inch from the floor allowing flies to get into the room
The microwave was a shelter for baby bugs
Roaches were coming from under the toilet in the morning
