4/10 Fair

It wasn't a great stay. When my wife and I first got into our room, we noticed our sheets, towels, and pillow cases were dirty. There was black mold in the tub and you could tell no one had swept the bathroom floor. The hotel also had multiple cockroachs. The front desk was nice at first when we checked in but after they were kinda rube and took their time. multiple people were at the front window but they just stood around and talked while there were people waiting to be seen. We also had an incident with the soda machine. We asked if they had any other drinks or if possible we could get our money back since we had spent 3 dollars. It took a day to get our money back after front desk agreeing to give us our money back. Reason for not getting the money back was due to the two people at the front desk talking. We stood in the lobby for a while but and told them we would have to come back because we had to be somewhere and needed to get back to our room before leaving to our event. Wow! what a way to spend our 11th an anniversary huh? Never going back again.

The floor was super dirty turning my white sock black at the bottom. The heater wasn't working so it was a cold night. The toilet tank literally took 30 minutes to completely fill up and the shower head was spraying outside so you had a puddle on the floor.

Perfectly Okay for one night
Important to know: the hotel is next door to an In-n-Out Burger, which makes it a bit busy to get in. Moreover, if this will bother you, it’s across the street from a cemetery, but that makes it quiet on one side, at least. We just wanted an inexpensive, decent place to shower and sleep and this did fit the bill. The pool and spa looked very inviting, but we were exhausted. Our shower/tub faucet would not shut off (we told the front desk upon checkout) and there was a huge, dead palmetto bug inside the bathroom light/blower (forget to tell the front desk that), but those were my only complaints. Yes, the property is old with some cosmetic blemishes; however, it was decent.
